- Install the Packing Tape mod (current version 20.0.7)
- Create a packed chest by picking up a filled chest with "Toggle Packing Tape" turned on
- Right-click the packed chest to access the ItemWithInventory GUI
- Pick up an item stack from the packed chest so you can see the black hand in its inventory
- Try to place the stack back into the slot where it came from
Pressing the Pipette hotkey will print "Cannot return item back: This slot is reserved for the cursor" and clear the hand icon. The next time pressing the key will send the cursor stack back to the player inventory.
-----------------
EDIT: An interesting detail that I've just noticed in testing for this bug:
LuaPlayer::hand_location reports that "inventory" = defines.inventory.item_main when the hand is inside the ItemWithInventory, opposed to defines.inventory.character_main when it's in the player's inventory.
But both of these constants happen to be equal to 1. I don't know if this has any relation to how the engine handles things.
