Reorganizing Watchlists (new feature) Crashes All Watchlists

Player Version#: Web interface as of today; and Android v.2026.7.0

I suspect there is probably an authentication error in this release of the list management.

With the recent release of “Lists”, I am trying to reorganize my Watchlist (170+) into 2 separate lists, but when I move more than a few titles, whichever interface I’m using crashes the list view. Though each app results are slightly different, the actions to get there are the very same:

1. Go to Watchlist (primary)

2. Navigate to any Title (press & hold in Android / clicking the title; or using 3-dots in thumb corner in web interface - each result is the same)

3. Using the 3-dots, select “Add to List” > “Choose a List” dialog pops-up where I can place a checkmark in the List(s) I want the title to show.

4. I add a checkmark to my new list and uncheck the “Watchlist”

The first few titles work just fine, I even wait for the Watchlist to refresh (which can take up to 10 seconds). Then it crashes:

Android 1: If in Step 2 above, I’ve long-pressed on a thumbnail, it simply stops refreshing the Watchlist and any future long-press menu pops up result in a spinning wheel with no results.

Android 2: If in Step 2 above, I navigate to the title itself and use the 3-dots, and back-nav to the Watchlist, it fails to refresh and subsequent title clicks result in "Uh Oh… Something’s Not Right (screen below). From which, the only solution is to restart the app.

Web interface: In Step 2, using the 3 dots in the corner of the thumbnail, it stops popping up the Lists dialog and either…

1. redirects me to a CloudFlare security verification check which solves itself and redirects me to a page that looks like the Lists pop-up, but if I check off the appropriate lists and clicking back no longer takes me to the Watchlist and turns out it does register my reorganization, but I lose my place in the watchlist of 170+ titles:

…or 2) it shows a full page error: “Nothing to see here!” and I need to select “Go Home” and click back into the Watchlist and scroll down again, etc. etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
