Bit of a catch-22 here: I had an overload of Colonist doffs from admiralty and Resettle Colonists assignments; they ended up in Overflow bag. This caused the replicator in inventory to be locked out -- the dialog box would open but all purchasable items were grayed out -- preventing me from replicating Provisions and so forth so I could expend Colonists on assignments and empty my overflow bag.

Yeah, that's basically what I did. But I'm considering this a bug because I've previously had similar doff overflows (prisoners from Admiralty) and it didn't lock out the replicator that time.

Prisoners and Colonists from Admiralty stack up in boxes in Inventory.
I keep one box of Prisoners, Colonists and Traders in my inventory at all times to collect them as I get them. Never hits that Overflow...until I open them.
But then I don't open them until I have space in the DOFF roster specific to Prisoners and Colonists.
It is not a bug...they locked shopping when anything is in that Overflow Bag because of some exploit. Though not sure what that was.
Edit: Checking the game this morning.... DOFF assignments with Colonists and Prisoners attached will NOT complete due to "not enough space in roster". So, those won't go in the over flow bag either.

I don't think they ever gave an official reason, so may be an exploit fix like where2r1 suggests, especially given that they've kept the restriction given how many side issues it seems to be causing.
Huh. Well, that's new since the last time I played for any sustained period.
Never mind then.
