Nooooo! It's not a bug, it's a necessary time saver. Must grind, not have conversations!

I have to agree with this. There is no bug. The shop simply does what it would if you quit the conversation and immediately started a new one with said merchant, or in this case, priest.

I think the bug is described like this:
Either we should never restrict the amount of an item available in a shop.
Or the amount should not refill. (or only over time)

Edit:
The problem with the current way of rotating the screen is:
1) it is a secret to most of the players
2) its anoying to buy 100 BMP without knowing the secret

Or you need to bring more bones to have the potion quantity restored... I saw someone else post this. Personally, I like the current availability of the bonemeal potions... but having to work harder for them would be okay too, I guess... :|

Well, if the solution was the priest would have 10 Bonemeal potions I could buy one at a time, 100 Bonemeal potions I could buy ten at a time, and 1,000 Bonemeal potions I could buy one hundred at a time, I'd be thrilled.

I was also thinking I'd be cool with having to give more bones for more potion.

Another thought, did we all waste a ton of money on what will eventually be an inferior potion, or will there never be a better deal than Bonemeal?

It isnt a bug, but a feature of the Android OS and it has been a known issue since last year.

Whether using this feature can be regarded as a "trick" is debatable, but I would say no.
This thread has brought forth some ideas, that is worth considering and those should be discussed.
  • Should certain shop items require a refill duration/creation ?
  • Should unlocked/quest shop items be restricted after bought ?
  • Should item quantity limits be removed (maybe in conjunction with the upcoming mass buy/sell dialog) ?

Good points Kim.

I hope their will be some rebalancing for potions (and weapons).
Currently its very simple: Buy always bonemeal if you need a heal. Depending on the situation there should be more similar (or even better) opportunities.

That was something that has been brought up before. My personal gripe is with the one that heals fatigue. IN battle, or even after battle, there is a significant chance that you are just going to get a fresh set of rounds of fatigue the next time you get hit rendering, in my opinion, the potion useless.
