[2.0.72] Fish cannot be placed into water when selected from quickbar and total number of fish is between 101 and 104

* What did you do?
I had 102 fish-items in my inventory and tried to put a fish back into water by selecting Fish from my hotbar, standing next to water, mousing over the water, and pressing the Z key.
* What happened?
Fish-items were dropped at my character's feet.
* What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
I expected 5 fish to be deducted from my inventory and a fish-creature to be placed in the water to begin swimming around.
* Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
It only happens if I select Fish from my hotbar and the smallest stack of fish-items is less than 5. It properly places a fish-creature if I select a stack of more than 5 directly from my inventory, or if I select fish from the hotbar and my total fish is either at least 5 and no more than 100, or at least 105, such that the smallest stack is at least 5 fish. Notably when I had 107 fish, I *could* place fish, even multiple times, even though the smallest stack is 7 and would be expected to only be able to place 1 fish-creature before being insufficient.
* Reproduction steps
Save file has 102 fish-items in player inventory. Go to water, pick fish from hotbar, move cursor over water, press Z. Fish-item dropped at feet.
Note: related to, but distinct from, this previous topic relating to placing fish in water. My issue specifically relates to the interaction of placing fish-items 5 at a time with the mechanics of selecting stacks of fish-items from the quickbar.
