Why can’t I use the Black Star to recharge a weapon enchantment

I got the Black Star a while back and decided to use it today. I killed a guard, trapping his soul in the star. This is the first soul that I have trapped in the star.

When I tried to recharge my weapon, the star didn't appear in the list of possible choices. After some experimenting, I figured out that, due to the Black Star's name, the star won't show up in the interface if you have three or more (other) black soul gems.

Any idea what I can do about this, besides dropping some black soul gems all the time?

I just had the same problem and found this thread by googling. I did a bit of testing, and realized that for some reason the mousewheel scroll wont work on the soulgem recharge menu... but scrolling by tapping forward and backward buttons on your keyboard does the trick =)

Wouldn´t have tried it thou if goblinlord wouldnt have assured that it works =P

Happy recharging!
