Why does the Simplified Chinese character 强 have more strokes than its Traditional Chinese counterpart 強? Simplified  强  （12） strokes
Traditional 強  （11） strokes


Are there any other similar cases in which a more complex form was adopted than the Traditional counterpart?
My assumption has been that the variant 强 was selected as standard because the right hand side of 強 is not its own character, whereas 强 was perceived as easier to remember because it is 弓＋虽. However, etymologically, 強 = 弘 ＋ 虫, so the character reform committee kind of screwed the pooch in that sense.
