Request for some (hopefully) simple UI enhancements regarding tech research

Often times I am trying to micro-manage my research slider since I don't want to overpay for tech research that is almost finished.
Here are the issues I'm having with this:
1 - when the sliders move, the budget totals on the top right of the screen do not adjust right away. It's almost as if they are a "click" behind. For example, if you can click the up arrow on the research slider and the research total will not update. But if you leave the screen and come back (or click on the planets button to force a refresh), then the research total *will* update.
2 - since tech research is an empire-wide selection, it would be *extremely* helpful if the "turns remaining" for research was displayed on the same screen as the tech slider and updated whenever you moved the slider. That way, you could get the research set up properly without constantly going back and forth between the sliders and the research screen.
