UG raises 3xBB leaving 9xBB stack behind. 
Btn calls 3xBB leaving 30xBB behind.
BB 3-bets 9xBB leaving 25xBB behind.
UG shoves all in 12xBB.
Btn calls 9xBB leaving 21xBB behind.

Big Blind wants to reshove all in but is forced to flat call.

Have you seen this scenario before? The poker client allows you only to call or fold all betting buttons and slider unavailable.

I initially thought it must be a software glitch but this does not seem to be specific to any one poker room but seems to be enforced across the board. Does this mean there is some poker rule that states you can re-raise another raise to your hearts content unless it's a shove from the short stack in early position as a response to your 3-bet.  Sounds stupid but that is the rule it would seem.

Can anyone please shed some light on this phenomenon.  Why is this restriction in place? Would it help to raise large enough to cover the short stack risking him to fold instead of taking the initiative? But will this allow the rest of us to continue the action?

The result is not favourable, whereas your reshove would put the button to a decision he might fold and you could successfully isolate the other player or he could decide to call and pay us off which now grants them a peak at the flop before they decide. None of which is good news for our crippled hero.
