The alteration to the marketboard menu layout in 5.1 (due to the introduction of the Favourites list) has affected how the cursor moves in response to D-pad inputs. It's a mild inconvenience, but it means more button presses for each search.
Date & Time: since Patch 5.1 was released
Frequency: always
World name: any
Character name: any
Retainer name: n/a
NPC name: n/a
Monster name: n/a
Class/Level: n/a
Party or solo: n/a
In-game time: any
Area and coordinates: at any marketboard
Housing: n/a
Steps:
1. Access marketboard
2. Select an icon ready to do a 'category search'
3. Move to the Search button to activate the search:
Before 5.1: scroll DOWN with the D-pad to the Search button.
Since 5.1: scroll DOWN with the D-pad, then RIGHT twice to the Search button.
Previously the bottom layer of buttons had "Wish List" and "Search", and when you scrolled down to that line, it automatically jumped to the Search button on the right.
With the addition of the Favourites list, a new button for it has been added - and the cursor no longer automatically moves to Search.
As I said, it seems like a mild inconvenience, but it adds more button presses every time I run a search - which can be a lot if I have a list of crafting materials to find, or I'm trying to put a glamour together and keep searching for different items.
Also if I accidentally hit X on the Wish List or Favourites icons, it loses my previous selection and I have to scroll up to select it again.
