    Materia melding screen annoyances

    After I meld an item, it goes back to the materia menu with nothing listed to meld, so I have to back out into the left column, which resets the position to the very top so I have to scroll all the way down to the item I want to meld to meld it again. I'm not sure if this is an oversight or if it was just designed this way (it seems like it was supposed to go back to the materia meld screen with the right column filled up, but that's not what it is doing right now), but it's a big bother.

    Furthermore, occasionally if you go through the menu too quickly and don't allow your character to sit down fully, the materia meld won't go through, it will exit all your menus, and then you won't be able to select the option again until you do something like switch your job or perform an action.

    Double post, but I'll bump this thread with a couple screenshots to demonstrate what I mean by the latter.
    This is what happens if you try to meld too quickly:

    After that, the materia melding button darkens and you arn't able to click it anymore:

    So basically the system "thinks" I still have the materia window open, but because of the earlier error it just clears the window without clearing my status. Really this whole "materia melding position" shouldn't exist at all, I don't even know why it's there.

    Yeah - the melding interface is poor-piss designed - I've actually end up moving the item(s) I want to meld (multiply times or with overmelds) from armory to inventory and also keep only keep there only those materias need for that particualr meld to avoid repeated scroll accross long lists of items and / or materias and most of all melding something incorrectly. Game should also STAY in the melding window in case of the failed meld to alow you to perform another attempt right away as long as you have the same materia and catalyst still available.

    I do this exact same thing. slightly annoying, but still less so than scrolling all the way to the bottom and searching for what I want to meld.
