Cannot apply vaal on strongbox using controller after 0.2.0h patch

I am on pc and using ps5 controller, I cannot use vaal orbs anymore on strongboxes after the 0.2.0h patch which introduced a new ui menu for selecting currency on strongboxes.

I'd also like to piggy back on this to point out that the pre-H version of adding mods to strongboxes with controller also paused the gameplay while you were doing so.

This new version does not pause gameplay.

Feels like a step backward rather than forward.
