Which was it?
If it was Orb Aggregate, other people have talked about a bug where you can't craft it over and over again, even if you have the orbs and gold. Something isn't clearing between craftings, unless you go off to other screens and do other things in between. I don't know if anyone's officially submitted a bug-report but you should certainly do that if it's some other formula having the same problem.
If it wasn't a case of trying to craft over-and-over, then it's still a bug and you should report that, too.
