Question Can't select a seat online for just 1 of 4 legs in a BA itin. Why not? :\ (OWE)

Later in May, I'm flying on BA for the first time in 23 years.

I'm OWE, and for three segments in my itinerary, I could pre-select seats online. For the other segment, the site and app tell me, "Online seat selection is currently unavailable, however you can call us to change your seats"

I've tried a few times, and after being on hold a while, the calls cut off.

The segment in question is FCO/LHR.

My original FCO/LHR flight was cancelled yesterday and I couldn't select a seat for it either. (I've now been put on the one departing 3 hours earlier.)

Is this just a random quirk, or is there just something about flying from FCO to LHR that has this special feature? I'll keep trying to reach an agent tomorrow but figured maybe someone here knows an explanation in the meantime.
