How did the medivac bug happen?

Like, nothing in the patch notes dealt with medivacs. Im just suuuuuuuuper interested in how these random bugs happen. Does anyone know?
Or anyone who uses the editor to see the source code see a reason why it happened?

In programming bugs happening often and a lot of functions are used by multiple parts of the application and can have a lot of shared code in general.

What is troubling for game like SC2 is that they dont have automated test before release which tries to load and unload units and check if it works as expected. You write it just once and then for all ong 10 years of SC2 existence it can check if medivac works…

it probably has something to do with the command center, as much like the medivacs they can only load scvs.

Staffers and new programmers need to stay employed, so why not create a new issue to fix?
