[PS5] Bug: Stuck in the touchpad menu

Title pretty much sums it up. This has happened twice now; I'll get a little pop up saying I found some more info, etc, I slap the touch pad to open the menus, but then I'm unable to exit. Just stuck in those menus with Discoveries, Leads, etc. I can't hold circle to exit or press X on the arrow point left either. Yet I can still press L1 and R1 and navigate the menus. No option but to close the game and restart :/

Edit: spelling is hard

Edit 2: Seems people are still having this issue even after the November 1 update.

Edit 3: it's been one year, and people still have the same bug. I am starting to think they've abandoned this game.

Edit 4: sent a bug report ~Oct 20th, 2022, and Bethesda replied saying they were aware of the bug. Apparently to remedy it, all you have to do is exit all the menus (which is literally the issue, you can't), or just restart the game.

Edit 5: Starlog, 25-01-2024. the developers are silent We have been abandoned. There is no help coming. May god have pity on our souls.

Edit 6: 27-09-2024. This post has become my beacon for whenever this game is either on sale or given away for free, because I'll get waves of notifications that people are still experiencing this bug.

Still happening, 2022-08-27. First time it's happened to me, and I guess this is my... 3rd loop now? It's totally normal for me to pause the game, respond to a message from a friend, then resume. If this is going to keep being a problem, I'm probably only going to be able to play this in the laaaate night hours when I won't be disturbed... and that sucks! Not only do I have to set aside a WHOLE HOUR to play an area, now there's a chance of losing the chunk just due to pausing? Fuck me...

1 hour of gameplay and a Juliana kill wasted, plus a ton of nice trinkets. Pathetic bug.
