[1.1.21] Power armor grid in chest can be edited from any distance

Normally when you open a storage chest and have your character walk away from it the inventory menu will close when you are out of range. You can use WASD to move around while a chest inventory is open.
However, if you right-click some modular or power armor stored inside the chest to edit its equipment grid this limitation goes away. You can walk away from the chest and continue editing the equipment grid freely. I would expect the GUI to close when you get out of range of the chest.
After finishing editing and walking back up to the chest I confirmed the armor was still present in the chest and my modifications were applied successfully. Tested by walking far enough away that the chest was off-screen while at maximum zoom-out in regular view.
