I just had a look to see what my build number is but can't find it in-game or in steam. I'm at the current build for today, dec 15 2012. A forum search for recycling didn't show me any recent posts about this bug, so here goes.
A few days ago (same build) in a pub game I was commanding I somehow recycled the arms lab not once but twice! I'm positive I didn't select recycle or use the hotkey. In a previous game I was sure an alien had snuck into base and taken out our armory and arms lab because I had researched shotguns and weapon upgrades and they disappeared as well. This time however I know I recycled them!
Then today I was fooling around on a map I'm making and realised I could repro this bug, however only for the obs.
1) build and select obs
2) click 'scan' or use hotkey to select
3) cursor becomes scan location selector. (must cancel before doing any other action)
4) press esc
5) obs begins recycling!
I'm sure this is related to the arms lab recycling incidents which any of the players from that game reading this would surely remember hehe. since I'm very very new to commanding, I often find myself in the middle of some operation like the above "select scan location" operation where all other actions are unavailable until you press esc to cancel. I'm pretty sure that's how the arms lab can be recycled but like I said was unable to make it happen on my own map.
The pub game was on veil. Oh yeah in my attempts to reproduce I played with the settings "commander help" and related things like "show tips". none of those had any effect.
HTH
