Chocobo Races cross hotbar wont switch to Chocobo abilities

I just need to check if I am the only one with this problem.

Basically, I use mixed hotbars because sometime I feel the controller feels better to use, however, since a few patches back, when I enter Chocobo Races, the cross hotbar (the one for controllers) wont switch to the Chocobo abilities. Instead it retains my character's abilities (NIN abilities if I am NIN), which means that I then need to use keyboard or mouse to use the abilities.

Anyone else with the same problem? Maybe even a solution?

Specs: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, nVidia GPU, Intel CPU, Dx11 client in case it matters.
