In World of Warcraft, hovering over a new item for a slot and pressing shift will show you an item comparison. I have recently got some new gloves which have got +320 spirit on them, however when I perform an item comparison it says that I will gain +532 spirit. I do no think this is correct.
I have taken a screenshot demonstrating my query, I'm not quite sure where these numbers have come from in this instance, am I missing something obvious or does this look broken to anybody else?

The comparison tooltips only know base stats and do not consider reforging changes.
The Guardian Serpent Gloves do have +532 spirit, prior to being reforged (Spirit -> Crit).
Enchants, gems, socket bonuses and set bonuses are also not considered by the comparison tooltips.
