Build-buy Catergories are bugged

I am having a issue with build-buy mode where the catergories aren't properly working. They show when clicked but it won't minimize and when going to another category by room it will show the previous rooms items until a new section is clicked on. I am currenly on patch 1.95 and I reinstalled the game with no resolution. If screenshots are needed I will provide them.

    Perhaps this is what the OP is talking about.
    I have uploaded the recording to Google Drive, but this is my first time using it, so I may not have set it up properly.

    Turns out, as there are a few posts on this now, this seems to be a change, whether intended or not, since the last patch, possibly by design? I still haven’t noticed any difference but maybe I’ve never paid any attention to the catalogue disappearing before due to my play style when building 🙂

    @LewdChelsea To my knowledge this was a design choice. Console players have been complaining a lot about it.
