Can't pick a recipe in the Bestiary Blood Altar

PS5
Did the first quest with Einhar, got a red and 4 yellows, only available recipe is a unique item but I can't get to the recipe list on my controller. Tried all sticks, buttons etc. Worked fine last league. I can put in beasts by hand but that doesn't do anything without a recipe selected.

Thanks for your report.

You can select the recipe by moving your Right Stick Up and Down then press X to confirm the one you want to use.
Will test in a bit but unless there was a fix, moving up only goes to my inventory, so upper left. No way I could go upper right, or right from the inventory. It just completely avoided the recipe list.
edit: It might be a similar problem to how the Pantheon doesn't have a selection cursor when you first open it. But that at least works after closing and opening it again.
edit2: Just to clarify, I get the difference of the item cursor and the list cursor but I did try pressing x even though it doesn't look selected and moving the stick up and down. That's why I tried to get there with the normal selection. It will probably fix itself once I get a second recipe. Would love to look at the code, there's probably a list going from 0-0 when there's only one entry when it should be 1-1.

Back in the game but I can't test it anymore since I now have 2 recipes and all works as expected and it works after going back down to 1 recipe too. I think it's only a problem when you get your first one. Maybe I'll test it out in a league I haven't played yet later. Probably not trivial for you guys to properly test. After all, the Pantheon not being selectable bug also persisted through a lot of leagues too and I reported that one too.
And I still don't know if my controller is just special or the bug that skill gems that have been unequipped take the next press of Triangle (move mode) as a Cross (socket mode). That's also been a thing forever, at least for me. But people get used to little things like that.
While I'm on things that your brain glosses over: Portals aren't allowed in Mirages but more than once when I made a portal outside to vendor in town I landed in the Mirage version when I portalled back. Always got me a bit confused because of the different lighting. But the code to make these duplicate zones scares me and it#s amazing that they aren't way more broken.
