Bug with ebonist (D155)?

In this game i played ebonist in round 7. After round 7 followed the harvest (as usual), but i didn't get the chance to change 1 wood to 1 grain+1 food. Or maybe i got the chance and wasn't aware of it??? I don't think so, but maybe i have to activate it at some point and didn't know?
Now we are in Round 8 and there is a blue frame around that card. Does this frame mean anything?

You have to open the Exchange Centre to make the change - it's the same place where you convert animals to food.
You're not the first person to have this problem, see eg

The blue outline is for cards which have an exchange in the harvest, to remind you. The outline currently persists after the harvest, but I don't think it should.

Thx for the quick answer...
If you don't know that you have to use Exchange Centre, you will usually not find that yourself.
I have Treegardener in the same game and for this one there is a popup and you are asked whether you want to make the Exchange or not.
I can see the difference (Treegardener procs in the "field phase of harvest" and Ebonist can be used "during the harvest") but it's still a little confusing.

Yes, I have outlined the issues in this thread:

Since then, a blue highlight has been added to some cards, but that seem to be bugged as it is glowing all the time and not only when it should.

I do prefer your suggestion, it is odd having some cards in the Exchange Centre and others not for harvest-specific exchanges. I admit I have still forgotten exchanges even with the blue highlight, though it is an improvement.
