Joshsecret, I think you can actually solve all your problems. See the post above this for instructions on how to disable certain cross bars.

And if you only need 2 crossbars in combat, you can actually set it up so that you don't need to tab through anything. In Haledire's screenshot above, the top section (Extended Hold Controls) is how you can bring up a second complete cross bar without ever needing to tab.

Of course, if you don't want to learn a new system and just want the old R1 tabbing to work, you'll have to wait for the fix. I can totally understand that. I like the old way, and think they should hurry the hell up with the correction.
