hi, trying to work out an issue with sagas. when a saga receives it's 3rd lore counter, it's ability triggers and is put on the stack, at this time you are able to hold priority and respond to it (something like using [[Xavier Sal, Infested Captain]] to remove the third counter) according to the CR, i should be able to interact with this trigger or cast other spells at this time but the game does not allow you to do so... i can cast spells and tap for mana, but i can't tap Xavier to reduce counters from say Urza's Saga, which should enable me to keep the saga in play and allow me to trigger it multiple times.

am i doing something wrong here?
is the program not functioning correctly?
or am i wrong about this interaction?

manat, Remove a counter from another permanent you control: Populate. Activate only as a sorcery. (Create a token that's a copy of a creature token you control.)
manat, Sacrifice another creature: Proliferate. Activate only as a sorcery. (Choose any number of permanents and/or players, then give each another counter of each kind already there.)
3/3
