Booking travel through C1 portal by Hopper

Not really sure where to post this

Just reporting a bug in the Travel Portal.
Forgetting about my own rule to never use the portal outside the US, I tried booking an easyjet flight. Apparently, there is a bug where initially it shows correctly (ie. no bags, no seat selection), but if you click around to the other flight results and back a few times, it will get confused and suddenly change and show incorrect info. In this case, it showed it does have seats and bags. Thinking I had a good deal, I booked it. Unfortunately, after getting the confirmation, I found out, I do not get them and outside the US, many carriers don't have 24hr cancellation for free. Luckily, I was able to call in and get a refund.

So never book it unless you have 24hr cancellation for free AT LEAST. Redo the search a few times to make sure its not magically changing. Even then, only use it for flexible flights where you can afford having to call in.
