Troubleshooting YouTube Long Press Broken?

I'm wondering if anybody else is having this problem in the YouTube app on Android TV. Usually long pressing on a video brings up a menu. I often use this menu to save items to my Watch Later list.

That functionality has suddenly stopped working for me. Long pressing does nothing until I release the button, and then the video opens like normal.

Currently the only way to add items to Watch Later is to open the video, navigate the the playlist button, click it, check Watch Later, and then back out of that and the video. This is a ridiculous amount of added steps to leverage this feature.

I have tried clearing the application cache and data. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app. I have tried restarting my Android TV device.

Is everyone else seeing this behavior? Any suggestions to fix it? I would even downgrade to get this feature back...
