Merchant tab can not be used

Bug Report ID: #2.843.431.542
One of my merchant tabs can not be used anymore.
I can not put anything inside it and also ctrl click does not work.
Switching zones did not fix it but restarting the game did.
Other merchants tabs still worked.

Bug has been around since async was introduced. I have some theories revolved around timing between zoning and selling at the same time or pricing while locking, but whatever the case.. it locks the whole tab out.

The only fix at this time is to wait 5-10 minutes and it will eventually unlock itself after a re-instance. I've had some times where I've managed to lock multiple tabs out so I just take a break or run some more maps and then resume pricing/listing once unlocked.

Hmm interesting. I suspect it might be when a sale happening in the tab the time you want to post something and then it internally locks because it thinks you are setting up a sale but you never got into the window to set a price.

As I said restarting does seem to fix it so if you do not want to wait you can restart the game and I guess it should be working again.

Item lock + reprice is why I switched to bulk tab repricing since you can self tab lock without having sales. Sadly I'm in the 50+ times I've witnessed the tab lock by this point (I average a lot of async sales a league), restart only works if that timer has elapsed for me. Several people have tried the restart and said it works for them, but my assumption is the tab was already locked for X minutes and while trying other stuff, they gave up, restarted the game, and new instance + timer elapsed = tab unlocked.

The weird gimmick I've started doing (somewhat a P2W strat cause multiple async tabs) to help minimize locks is to have multiple tabs of a single price and then just reprice them once a day or so. Then I don't care if a tab gets locked out. Just sucks when it is my assorted priced tabs I want to add big drops to.

And me deciding to sell a metric ton of bases + excess T16 maps + test some fast map strats this league has only increased the amount of times I see the locks this league as I'm in the thousands of sales this league. But I'm ranting.. hopefully GGG gets around to fixing it since it's been reported hundreds of times already. Or at least add the tab pricing they hinted at in an interview.
