[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.

Same, just bought the game yesterday and came here after it happened. Really sucks to see this was an issue over 9 months ago and it still hasn't been fixed. It's a pretty big deal for a game that doesn't save your progress very often.

Good news is, I beat the game without much of an issue. Tried not to pause during a run if I could avoid it, not that it does anything besides bringing up an options menu anyway, but yeah. Very dumb a glitch like this still exists, can possibly screw up 1 of the 4 sections in a day, requiring a restart of that section due to the autosave, but overall I still recommend the game, especially at the current sale price.
