Can not close book after turning a page shows empty papers. (White pages stuck on screen.)

Mission: "The Elixir"

Reading: Lady Barrington's Diary

I checked the mission thread, and nobody else seems to have issues.

2.11

Well, now I found a thread already existed.

I can't find a way to erase my topic, so please do so freely. Looks like a hopeless bug. Luckily it is rare.

If you can provide a way to reproduce it reliably, that would be awesome.

I'm pretty sure it was already reported, but I could not reliably reproduce it to understand what's the cause.

To replicate: 

Save before opening the diary, because succeeding will soft-lock you. 
When diary is open, you have to input this sequence in an extremely short period of time (almost at the same time):

First "Next Inv. Item", and then "Use Inv. Item"

In my case:

Mouse scroll down, and then F.

---
This might take a while. Probably easier when not both keys are mapped on mouse, but one separately on keyboard?

Maybe this happens for people who have set "Use Inv. Item" to right mouse. I'm pretty sure that was the case for me when the bug triggered by accident. And my finger is often found twitching on RMB.
---
Alternate outcome that sometimes happened:
Diary became unwilling to open at all even though the green item backlight triggered.
It is possible that this happened because I cycled items instead of turning pages, because I timed the inputs wrong.

Hope it helps.

Yeah!
I can successfully reproduce it now!

It's really next page + close book sequence.
In my case it work both with mouse scroll + Enter and with NextInvItem key + Enter.
Also it works both directions (next or prev page).

UPDATE: can reproduce on New Job as well, so I guess any pickable book is affected at least.
