[Bug] Chance of Success seemingly innacurate when using mental abilities in normality zones
I have reached a point in the game where there are many consecutive zones where my mental abilities no longer a have a 100% chance to success. My issue is that when I'm prompted with a window that asks me if I still want to use the ability with a success rate of 63%, it requires multiple presses on the "yes" button for the confirmation to work, and I think that also causes the success rate to be less than what's displayed.

I decided to record it, notice that I fail the 63% success rate 25 times in a row:

Or it could be that I've been extremely lucky that night. Using probability theory though would mean that I had about 0.0000000001% chances of that happening:

Success rate = 63%
Failure rate = 37%

0.37^(25 attempts) = 0.000000000123%.

The issue still happened right before I started recording too, so I'm inclined it's a bug. I'm in Tomb of Eaters and I don't think I had that issue with the prompt in my entire playthrough before entering the tomb.

Maybe the reason it's now doing that is because there are multiple instances of the same window appearing on top of one another, at least that's how it feels. I don't know. It could be why I have to press yes a few times, up to 5 times to confirm, and if one of the success rate in those windows fail, the whole thing fails, hence the low success rate... That would be my guess, but of course I don't know what it could be or how I can fix it.
