Mod Notice
4:3 is WAI.

The bug
When running Minecraft at an aspect ratio taller than 16:9, the crafting UI changes. Normally, when you use the new recipe book in a crafting table, it will appear beside the crafting table UI, so that you can view and craft at the same time.
However, in taller aspect ratios than 16:9, this functionality is lost, because the UI appears above the crafting table, and when any recipes are clicked, the UI disappears, but the recipe does not show up on the crafting grid.
To be clear, the UI works fine with aspect ratios SHORTER than 16:9, so 16:8, etc, works fine. But things like 3:2, 4:3, or 1:1, or example, don't work.
Problems
As described in MC-115071 the "inventory" rendered behind the crafting help is not actually the player inventory. The slots appear always empty even if the player has items in these slots.
The player model is rendered in gray in front of the recipe book GUI, see MC-116761.
Note from original poster
I'm actually no longer experiencing this issue. On my device, it works fine. For me, It was fixed in 17w14a, but still affects other people. Not sure if this information is important, but thought I would mention it.

Testing with 17w14a. This issue still happens.
Game set to 1024x768. Open crafting table. This is the resulting GUI: http://i.imgur.com/RrN1lkk.png
It looks like this is still the case in 17w15a
Edit: I thought this report described the fact that the recipe book looks different for smaller display ratios.
It does not seem to affect me.
Still affect the resolution 4:3.
Was able to reproduce it with for example 1600x1200. See

It would help me if you included which resolution you found the issue. Since this is how it should look if the screen is not big enough for the GUI.
When I fist found the issue, I was running the game at 2736x1730, and as you can see in the first image it clearly had enough space. However, this is now fixed for me and works normally since 17w14a. However, someone commented they are still experiencing it at a resolution of 1600x1200. I don't know if this is still happening, but when I fist used it in 17w13a, the functionality wouldn't work, not just the menu overlay, but I don't know if that is still the case for other people in 17w18a, because it no longer affects me.
Maria Lemon, This issue occurs when you select any 4:3 aspect ratio. Here is a screenshot of 1.12-Pre6 at 1280x960: http://i.imgur.com/KUjPzjF.png
If this were happening at some wacky resolution that no one uses, this might be a non issue. The trouble is, this happens at the default 4:3 monitor resolution and impacts a meaningful number of people.
I think the issue is Minecraft calculating the Auto GUI scale by the size of the normal inventory, thus (mostly) setting the GUI scale to Large which leads to the recipe book overlapping the inventory on 4:3 screens.
@unknown, the way it happens on your screenshot is intended:
Since this is how it should look if the screen is not big enough for the GUI.
It just can't fit if you have it on the side. Also, it should behave the way you want if you change the GUI scale to normal, as there would be space to fit both inventory and recipe book side by side.

In fact, this is exactly it. at the 1280x960 resolution I was testing, "Large" works fine but "Auto" sets the GUI scale to a size larger than "large" and the inventory subsequently fails. This isn't the only failure, as a number of option menus are also cropped on the sides.
Having said that, I suspect "Auto" being the real problem makes this report a duplicate of MC-37839.

Cannot confirm that. For me the crafting recipe appears in the crafting grid.
