And what is your expected result when you start a scenario, save the game. load the game, then use "restart"? At that point you can't even be sure the original scenario still exists.

This because the feature was never meant to reload a scenario or savegame.

I "restart" in a saved game, I would expect the game to roll back to the start date, not to the save state. Is there enough data in the save game to reconstruct the "start" from that point?

AI testing would be easier with the ability to restart a scenerio. However, the work around steps are useable if clunky.
How different is restarting a scenario/save to restarting a new game? Why is one in memory still and the other not? The workaround is reasonable, but it if the fix isn't too risky then it would make more sense from a user point of view to have "restart" work in saves and scenarios.

disabling the ability to restart in scenerios and saves would at least give a result that makes sense. Right now you just go back to the last game you started new, even if you closed and restarted since then.
