No mods. Acording to the "How to report a bug"

1. So, I have a nice colony, everything fine, nice calm playing. I have 2 colonists that are excelent in research. So I have also 2 research benches. 1 hightech with multianalyzer and 1 simple bench. Because 1 of the researches is incapable of doing most of the other things(name=Kit), I want her to research. My another resercher(name=Banzo) is better than her, so I want him to research too. Basic logic, with two colonists on two research benches.
2. Problem is, they do not research at the same time. They do not use the simple bench, only the hightech. Most of the time Banzo researches and Kit is idle, or doing something with lower priority. At least, it is good that they ignore the simple bench and not the hightech.
3. I expect them to research simultaneously. To primarily use the hightech bench and when they want to research simultaneously to use the simple one too.
4. Just don't initiate any tasks Kit would otherwise do(doctoring, firefight, flick) and she just won't go research, if the hightech bench is occupied by Banzo. She will go idle.
5. The savefile is too big, 11.5MB. download it from my dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8sw306i2nlm71a2/AABmlS8oFoYGT0TcsRVLBzAfa?dl=0
6. Output log attached.

Thanks :)

I have a game on my home computer with 2 research benches (tribal start) with 2 researchers working at same time. And a game on my work computer with 3 research benches (tribal start as well) with all 3 being used at once. (not always, but fairly often between cleaning) I am not using any special priority setup to make it happen on either game.

Anecdotal I know, but perhaps it will help to eliminate some variables.

I see you're researching the Ground Penetrating Scanner.

The Ground Penetrating Scanner has two building requisites: A high-tech research bench and a multi-analyzer. It's simply too high-tech to be researched at a simple research bench.

Well, I tried now to change the research object to something that doesn't need hightech bench and suddenly, both of them are researching. So everything is fine! My bad. Thank you a lot :)
Well, I guess I will build a second hightech bench with multi-analyzer

FYI multiple research benches can share a multi-analyzer if it's close enough. It doesn't have to be touching, but it doesn't have a huge range either.
