Amphitheatre Effect III not working (as intended)?

Hey guys, with the launch of the DLC I've been playing 117 again and noticed a bug (?) that already occurred in November and I'm surprised it is still in the game. Now I'm wondering if I understand the effect boost correctly:

Amphitheatre Splendor/Fame III says "Theatre Need Supplied" and also giving buffs on happiness, knowledge and prestige (Image 1). How I understand that effect: The amphitheatre not only supplies the residences' marvel need for the amphitheatre itself, but also the public service need of the theatre and giving its effects, thus allowing for deleting the theatres and giving valuable building space. But: Nothing like that happens. The splendour effect is active, but neither is the theatre need supplied, nor do the residences give the stats of the theatre (Image 2).

The effect icon isn't shown in the residences' effect overview either, but in the amphitheatre one (Image 3 and 4), but the amphitheatre obviously has no theatre need. So what is the supposed effect of that boost? Or does it work as intended for all of you? I'm currently playing in the campaign mode on Cinis, but I remember the effect also did not work in my endgame save in November.

I noticed the effect tooltop does not say "Happiness area effect +3" but "Happiness + 3". Amphitheatre splendour II also says "Prestige +2" and not "Prestige area effect" (Image 5) and indeed, weapon and armour chain do not have the prestige area effect, but only +2 Prestige for any building of that chain (Image 6 and 7, also seems like a very weak lategame effect tho), while Amphitheatre splendour IV says "Population area effect +1" and the effect boosts any building close to the barracks and the equitum campus with +1 Population, even each other (Image 8 to 10).

But neither does that apply to the amphitheatre in the same way like it does to the weapon and armor chain: The happiness value +3 from the effect does not appear in the happiness sum for the amphitheatre (Image 11).

Am I missing something or is that effect bugged? Does it work for you? Any info or advice is appreciated 😄
