If I grab an item that is also a tile (like concrete or stone bricks), and press E, the inventory will not open or close.
My current workaround is to put the item in my hotbar instead.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Obtain stone bricks or another tile
2. Open your inventory and grab said item
3. Press E
4. Observe the inventory does not close

This also happens in the opposite direction: If you grab a tile from your hotbar, you will not be able to open your inventory.
I was able to reproduce this issue on multiple saves, with and without mods, on both Arch Linux and Ubuntu 22.04.
A skim of the logs did not show any error codes after reproducing the bug.

Thanks for the report however I suspect you have re-bound some hotkey because it works perfectly for me when I do the exact same thing.

Looking at your config.ini you bound smaller-terrain-buildling-size to E:

smaller-terrain-building-area-alternative=E

Clearing that hotkey will fix the issue for you.
