The Quality % decreases when the building is affectet additionally by Speed Modules. It looks like it is not just a visual bug.

it's normal now speed module decrease quality, we all learn this the hard way...

Shouldn't that then be explained in the Tips and tricks section under Quality Modules?

Yeah, but it will not decrease the base quality of your end result.

You will never get "normal" items if you use uncommon items on your crafting bench, so if you want to get better quality components you can't use them in conjunction with the quality modules, the speed modules would be only usseful if you have reached the latest quality tier you have unlocked (if you have not the aquilo research for legendary modules, you can put speed modules on all your epic crafters as you will never get a legendary one until you unlock the tech)

Using quality modules in conjunction with productivity modules is safe and desired on some cases.
