ME1 LE: Converting to Omni-gel takes away controls, game restart needed

I have also found an inconsistency in how item breakdown works.

If you mark items as junk, press the omni-gel button while standing on an item that isn't marked, select the option to dismantle all junk, then the actively highlighted item will not be dismantled alongside the junk items.

However, if you do the same with mods, the currently highlighted item will also be converted into omnigel - you can even lose your actively equipped mod that way.

+1. Can also reproduce this. I find it much easier to reproduce when mass converting upgrades to omni-gel. 2/2 times, when converting probably more than 15 upgrades at once. When it happens, an "undefined" text appears in the screen, and controls become unresponsive.

Yep, I've never had this happen with single-item breakdowns.

I avoided breaking all items down at once, if I had e.g. 16 shotguns, I only marked 15 for breakdown, so the selection could jump to an actual item, then I broke it down separately. That seemed to help the situation, though it makes an already horrible system even more of a chore.

Thanks for posting this, @felker_s. Super detailed description of how to replicate this, much appreciated!
