This is interesting. I might replay the case just to see if I can make this happen. Won't be able to get back to you quickly, but in the meantime, check the notes in the court record. You might've just missed a step and it's still in your notes as incomplete.

There's already a reported glitch in the case that stops you from progressing once you get to the understage, so this could be another

Ah wow. What is this glitch? Now I just wanna see if I can replicate these.

Yeah this is the issue when you make the investigations linear. In the old games you had a lot more freedom (you could examine 3 places in tandem back and forth and once you do all 3, the dialogue begins), but the investigations in SoJ still had an order you needed to follow one to the next.

I'm honestly not sure which method I prefer, actually. In the old games, you were prone to these situations where you ran back and forth between places, shoving evidence in people's faces and just not progressing at all because you didn't think of showing some obscure person some obscure piece of evidence that was never hinted at and probably doesn't even give you actual new, useful information (apart from maybe unlocking an inconsequential talk topic), but is still somehow necessary to trigger the entire rest of the investigation. DD/SoJ may be a little too linear (DD moreso because of limited investigation), but I'm honestly glad I didn't have to go through stuff like that anymore. I used to not really be a fan of investigations, but I'm actually liking them in the new games.

I'm not sure how to replicate it but the "examine/move/present" actions will disappear, keeping you from progressing

Holy shit I experienced this same thing. Luckily I discovered that before I got too frustrated, but hey, you're not the only one!

I heard nothing about that in the Japanese version, and you'd think they'd cook up a patch as it's been three months since the JP release, so it might be a glitch specific to the localized version.
