2x2 medbay only holds 3 crew

As the title says, a 2 by 2 Medbay only holds 3 crew instead of the expected 4. Ordering a 4th crew member inside will give a movement order to an already occupied square, preventing the movement.

This isn't a bug. If you look at the room, you can see artwork covers one of the spaces. I guess they thought allowing four crew members to heal at the same time would be too easy?

Yeah I see it now, but didn't think it had an effect. It doesn't in any other room, after all. It's also pretty annoying to have a 2x2 room on fire, extinguishing it with 4 crew (or fighting off a boarding), and having to heal them 3 and 1. Lots of micro for a pretty minor balance effect.
