Havent been working like...never. Well over a year at least, since i can remember. And it's annoying, yes.
Ah - I only had one villain above 40 before last week, and the plaques were fine when he hit 40 (about a month before VEATs went live iirc).
If it's old it may help explain why I didn't spot a thread on it and it didn't ring any bells.

Very annoying, given that you can't repick patron and so you need to see the info about the patron pools to make a decision with lasting effects.

You've been able to respec to different patron power pools a long while now whenever you use any form of respec. However, the only element that won't change is the contact themselves as they are tied into Project Destiny ofc.
The scrolling thing - dunno tbh seems to just be one of the many recent bugs to annoy.

Since they included the ability to change Patron Pool in respecing, you also get to choose from all four PP when you complete the Patron arc. It rather confused me when I did a Patron arc for the first time.

Death is part of my attack chain.
Dont think the issue is about changing your patrons, its just that you cant see all the powerpools in plaques.
I forgot that they'd altered it so you could change patron pool, though you may not want to for RP purposes...
The issue is that you can't see what powers are available in the PPPs. Without scrolling all you can see is most of the first power in the set - which is hardly useful info for comparing the 4 pools.
So it's still annoying that you have to make a decision ingame that selects a power pool without being able to see what powers are in the pool.

All you select is who your patron is. This determines the story arc you play in relation to that patron, and the arcs about Operation: Destiny. Your choice of Patron Pool is unaffected by your choice of Patron, and once the first Patron arc is finished, you can pick from all four Patron Pools.
They should re-write the dialog so that your patron says they are giving you access to Arachnos's most closely guarded powers, rather than only their own. With that, there would be no more confusion, and no need for the plaques. The plaques don't even have information about the new powers that were introduced a while ago, like Shadow Meld.

Noticed this today, both on a MM and a Corruptor: When you see Arbiter Rein and he tells you to look at the patron plaques they aren't scrolling vertically, and show no scroll bar widget to drag to scroll the window contents.
In both cases, the 1st one I opened and looked at (GW for the MM, Scirocco for my corr) showed the scroll widget and was scrollable, but then when I opened the others, and when I came back to the first one, it was not scrollable.
