What?
In Editor mode you can put only-in-cursor items into your own inventory, and by shift-lmb into other inventories.

So what?
I'm not sure if this is intended to allow scenario authors to put "one time usage" items into chests or something? but as the items still self-destruct as expected once you actually put them in the cursor i'm assuming it's a bug for now.

Example
Copy paste tool, Cut paste tool, Screnshot camera (see signature)

Thanks for the report. I could change this, but I also made the infinity chest capable of spawning literally every item in the game in the next version of 0.17. I'm not sure if it really matters if the editor can do these kinds of things.

I would say it doesn't matter. Editor is a tool to make content for the game, not the game itself. So it can be allowed to do anything that doesn't cause critical failure, in my opinion.
