Orb of fusing max link but not stopping consumption

I was applying Orb of Fusing to my pair of Allelopathy with 4-sockets. Upon getting it fully linked, instead of stopping the consumption of orb of fusing as expected, it displays a message of "Fail to apply item: No target item found" and simply keeps on going (while removing the 4 link). I didn't notice that and started dumping a huge amount of orb of fusing into the Allelopathy, while wondering why it took so many trials. I started off with 22 orbs of fusing, bought 140 orbs of fusing with 60 chaos orbs, and ended up with 9 orbs of fusing left - I burnt 153 orbs of fusing to 4 link the gloves.

I put my gloves in the currency page while applying the orbs of fusing. Please find a fix and I request compensation; I'm a casual player and nearly 70 chaos orbs down the drain because of a bug is a huge deal to me.

Evidence:

Fusings working on a 4-linked item is intended. Only 5S5L and 6L items are blocked from having further fusings used on them. It's pretty common to want a 4-socket item to have links other than 4L and doesn't take many fusings to get there, so GGG intentionally didn't extend the blocking to 4L items.

The error message you got is unrelated — that pops up when you spam currency on an item faster than your connection to the servers can keep up with.

USE THE BENCH

It costs FIVE fusings to 4link an item with the bench! FIVE!!!

When Jewellers always work with a block, it's only natural to assume that fusings work the same way, isn't it?

I'm in so much pain right now I honestly wanna cry.
