Problem leveling second cover of a character

I'm leveling up a second 3* Dr. Strange.  When I earn new covers and try to use them, it tells me I need to decrease powers in another color.  I think it is looking at my already championed Dr. Strange instead of the second one (which doesn't yet have 13 covers).  If I go to the 2d Dr. Strange, I am able to use the new covers to level up within the "powers" listing of that character.  It's only direct use of the cover that fails.

    This is pretty normal, actually.

    Yeah, this is standard. It only happens when the original has less than 5 in the colour you're trying to train, tho, so you can usually have it set so 2/3 of the covers aren't a problem.

    This isn't a bug, just a flaw in the existing system.  Would be nice if it were fixed/improved, but not sure how much work it would be.  The work around is pretty simple so meh.

    I'm not going to type it all out again, so go here: https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/comment/819667#Comment_819667 for a full write-up on what's happening and why it happens.

    It is pretty clearly a bug.  You don't need to spend covers to respec a champed character, so offering to do that when you click the "train" button next to a cover in the queue does not make sense.  A max-champed character should never be considered a valid target for applying a new cover.
