Is it common knowledge to everyone that unlocking and salvaging are broken if you have a merchant window open?

I always saved my identifying and salvaging for town. I'd head straight for the merchant, open up a sell window, and open up my inventory. I'd identify and salvage stuff right then and there. After countless blues, and about 15 purples, I was getting discouraged - I had never unlocked anything (or at least never got a message). I also never once salvaged a rune.

I thought you could fail at unlocking just like salvaging runes, and I furthermore thought the percentage of success was teeny tiny.

Then I realized tonight, that having the merchant window open breaks this whole process. I started salvaging stuff with just my inventory open, and BAM, unlocks all the time, and I've even managed to pop out a number of runes.

The interface lets you identify and salvage with the merchant window open, however, the game is bugged when you do this.

Am I the first to notice this, or am I just being stupid?

I haven't noticed this, but it sounds like something that needs to be investigated and fixed if it is the case.

After playing around with this some more - I'm convinced that identifying and salvaging do not work (at least on my computer/account) with a merchant sell/buy window open. Suggestions on obtaining enough supporting data for a bug report? A log?
