Using Catalysts with Base Storage open fails; Catalyst falls into the bin

[ninja surprise]

Conditions: 

• In base with Salvage rack storage open. Count the number of Catalysts in storage.
• Have one Catalyst in inventory
• Do the Enhancement catalyze thing
• The wizard says 100% chance of success; hit Combine
• - wizard kinda grays out/pauses; click Exit
• Enhancement is unmodified; Catalyst is gone from inventory; Salvage rack Catalyst inventory has increased by 1

 

If you do this with more than 1 Catalyst in your character's inventory the combination will succeed but 1 Catalyst will be consumed and 1 Catalyst will be sent to the Salvage rack.

I appreciate you tagging me in this, but as I previously stated, I did not have the bin open while trying to slot the catalyst. This does not solve or answer my concern. Thank you.

Had the same happen too me. Thanks for finding the reason out.

It indeed does lock-up and drop the catalyst back in the storage bin if the salvage window is open.

 

Catalyst not attuning. Attunning fail. Catalyst issue.

As an addendum to the manifestation of this bug, it occurs when you have any storage object open in a base when you are applying a catalyst to an IO; however, only in the case of a Salvage Rack will the bug put the catalyst in the storage object -- for other storage objects, it will not go into the object, and you will see an error message saying that you can't put Enhancement Catalyst into that storage object. So it appears to be a bug with the open storage object trying to take control of the catalyst when it is 'put in motion' by using it on an IO.
