What did you do? What happened?

I was trying to set forced-item-replacement requests in equipment grid over the remote viewer
(which does not seem to work or to be implemented).

What I found is that [Ctrl+Click] on an empty slot does have wrong effect:
It splits up the equipment grid, randomly selecting which items to keep and on
which equipment to place removal request (or in case of ghosts, the ghost is removed immediately).

What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
To either remove all equipment or none, not randomly selecting which one to keep.
Removing no items would be desirable for me.
Tested this few times, each time different equipment pieces were kept and removed.

Note that I did not have enough space in the user inventory that would be sufficient to store all the equipment, but this should be irrelevant to this case, since these are bot requests made over the remove viewer.

Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
Always.

Before [Ctrl + Click]:
After [Ctrl + Click]:

seems someone renamed the title of this bug report,
I did not notice how many pieces of the different equipment types get removed - but can confirm the one of each behaviour after a little bit of testing

Thanks for the report, this is fixed for 2.0.43. It will behave in the same way as remote item removal: Ctrl+Click won't do anything.
