Fur not recognized as fur

[Tom H]

I have two damaged fur caps. When I try to repair one with the other I'm told that I can't use that kind of material, that I need a furred skin. It will allow me to use a tattered fur cloak, but not the other fur cap. It won't allow me to use de-furred leather. I tried that on the off-chance.

 Just a guess, some game situations have trouble if input and output are the same eg: trying to trade a sword to pay for a sword.
Can you add the cap weight to the fur cloak? and yes you can't use leather as fur.

First, I tried to repair but the cloak was too damaged. I then tried to make a new item, a cap. It would use the damaged cap. Then I tried using it on the other damaged cap again and it no longer gave the 'wrong fur' message. The problem seems to have cleared itself. Thank you!

Could it also have been a mislick or misunderstanding on the first time...?
For verification, you could you post characters message log (msglog.txt) from the said troublesome situation so we can read what the game actually said.
