Researching still bugged

According to the patch notes (bottom, search for crafting) - https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/4440672/#Comment_4440672
the problem with not being able to research was fixed. However, my clothier still has the problem. I have 1/3 researches in progress, and when I try to resarch a new one, I get the message "No research slots available".

Anyone else still experiencing this problem?

    I have the same problem. If we wait again 1 week for a new patch, can we have Something to give us a 7 day reduc time for our next research ?

    And for the past 3 days I've had this problem. So frustrating.

    I found on the one that I was trying to research on (woodworking table said 2/3 of in use, CraftStore said 2/3 of in use) that it seems she's actually researching something (3/3 in use according to Trait Buddy addon) -- so perhaps you actually are researching something but have forgotten what as it started so long ago and can't see what in the normal ways.

    EDIT: Or maybe, when that 3rd research supposedly ended, the table interface knew it, the CraftStore addon knew it, and Trait Buddy will just let it go on forever as it shares the error with the server... hmm, ok, honestly I'm not sure... but there's a hint in there somewhere.

    It's maybe because I reload eso + during one of these search, and I havent the 10% bonus timer before.

    Has anyone tried respec'ing to see if it fixes it? It shouldn't be necessary, it's still a bug, but if it worked I'd be willing to do it one time. But if it doesn't work, I really don't want to waste the money to pay for the respec.

    I'll try that in a little bit here. The one it's broken on for me is only level 22 and only does top tier writs nothing else (bank character) so should be cheaply done.

    EDIT with Results: Respeccing removed the previously completed or hidden Lightning Staff research that Trait Buddy claimed was going on and now all addons and the wood table agree I have 2/3 items researching, however it does not allow me to place the Nirnhoned Lightning Staff listing as "Researchable" to actually start research and still only shows a "Cancel Research" button with no ability to press "R" to Research an item, so I'm still stuck with 2/3 research active (or with training trait still researching but in a totally hidden way from everything now). So just a waste of gold.

    P.S. Maybe this should be under "Bugs" instead of "Crafting"? Would it get more attention there?

    I initially posted here to see if anyone else was experiencing it still. Now that I know others are, you're right there should probably be a thread in bugs. I also submitted a ticket this morning after the patch, when I was still experiencing the issue.

    Having the same problem. A person in zone chat said that the addon "Auto Research" would solve the problem. Downloaded and applied it. Voila! Problem solved. I need to pay attention to zone chat more.

    In another thread, Gina said "Apologies everyone, I didn't read closely enough when looking at the research bug that was being fixed in yesterday's patch, and it clearly wasn't the one you all are still experiencing. We're still working on fixing this particular issue and will roll it out as soon as we can."

    I bought two staffs for research, but they can't be researched? "0 items available", and yes i took them from the mail and yes i have a free spot.

    Did you "lock" them in your inventory to prevent them from accidentally being destroyed?
    - You have to unlock them before you can research them.

    Are they actually on that character, or still sitting in the mail inbox?
    -Have to be in that character's inventory or unlocked in the bank to be able to research it.

    Do you already know the trait for that item?
    -Each staff type is different. If you bought an infused inferno staff and already know the infused trait, you can't just use it to research infused for ice/lightning/restoration staves, even though they are all staves, they're different in the eyes of research.

    Are you highlighting the correct item in the research UI?
    -It starts you, by default, on either bows or shields. You have to tab over to get to the staves. Make sure you're on the right item.

    Go through that checklist and see if one of those items might be the reason.

    I've seen this behaviour too. I'm not sure what caused it and it's only happened once. So uh yeah.
