Alchemy progression bug - lower level experimentation tasks still present

This is on PC and also via the Gateway.

I have alchemy at level 9 and was doing the level 9 experimentation where you get the Primordial goo and the possible alchemy research scroll as the result. I got 2 of the scrolls and then suddenly the level 9 experimentation disappeared (both in PC and Gateway).

At first, I thought it was because I was missing requirements. Unchecked the box. Nope, it's just gone. As I'm scrolling through the list of things I can/can't do, I notice, that all of a sudden, level 6 Research shows up, but I can't recall if it needed more scrolls. Anyway, I ran that, and then it gave me some experience, and now my Alchemy Level 9 is "halfway" with the bar.

Still can't see the Level 9 Experimentation, (The Rank 9 Alchemical Research shows up but shows I have 2/5 scrolls) but now Level 7 Experimentation shows up. I've run it like 25 times and just get the unstable potion and no scrolls.

Never seen this before on my other 8 characters.

Am I missing something obvious (I've triple-checked and it's been this way for like 3 days)?

What is Observed:
In the middle of Rank 9 experimentation, the Rank 9 Experimentation task has disappeared and lower level (Rank 6 alchemical research) is displayed. If you run that, you now show Level 7 Experimentation but cannot appear to progress it at all.

How it should behave:
Under no circumstance, should lower level experimentation tasks show up or be allowed to be run. Under no circumstance should current level tasks disappear.

Not sure how to post screenshots. Again, PC and Gateway show same thing.

    I've got basically the same problem. When I ran the Research task to level up from 11 to 12 I only got 1/4 of the experience needed. (Maybe I ran the Level 7 Research by accident. ) Level 11 Experimentation is gone, but Level 7 Experimentation is still there. I ran that about 15 times with only the Unstable Potion as a result. I submitted a ticket and went back and forth with support a number of times. Initially, they thought I just didn't understand how alchemy works. When I finally convinced them that something was wrong they said there was nothing they could do to correct the problem and they told me to submit a bug report. I plan on doing so, but I haven't got around to that yet.

    Have you tried making/buying all the level 20 potions?
    Major Flask of Protection
    Major flask of Potency
    Major Unstable Potion

    Might "unbug" it. Then you should get the appropriate experimentation task. Seemed to work for someone else.

    From Storm King's Thunder Preview Patch Notes: NW.65.20160906b.1:
    "The Rank 7 Experimentation task in Alchemy no longer persists after the player has graduated to Rank 8 or beyond."

    I've got exactly the same issue on PS4. :-(
