[1.1.5] "only-in-cursor" items can be quick-inserted into entities without inventory (i.e. rocks).

[eradicator]

What?

Ctrl+LeftClick on any entity with inventory and on some entities without inventory "deletes" the cursor stack if the cursor stack has the "only-in-cursor" flag.

Expected Bahavior

"only-in-cursor" items can not be inserted into anything, so they should never be affected by "insert" actions.

Reproduction

Rocks are just an example. I also confirmed it on electric-energy-interface, rail, electric-pole, ... and then i stopped testing.

1. Press Ctrl+C to get a copy-paste tool.
2. Walk up to a rock and press Ctrl+LeftClick.
3. Notice how your cursor is now empty.

Actually they can be inserted just fine, moved with any normal item

Just they are deleted if they are ever detected outside of a cursor stack

I am tempted to call this a minor issue/not a bug/won't fix

Minor issue.

I meant they can't conceptually be inserted from the players perspective. Obviously it's technically working or otherwise we wouldn't be here :D. If it had only been entities *with* inventory i might not have written this, but the without thing was rather weird. It actually happend to me when i was trying to drag a selection area and accidentially held ctrl instead of shift. I can see how it's not a major issue, but was hoping that it would be as easy as adding one line of code to the quick insert. Ah well, another time then :D.

Sigh. Working on Belt Planner this just cost me several hours again trying to figure out why my selection-tool suddenly disappears on ctrl-click. Until I remembered this thread...

[eradicator]

It also seems that on_player_fast_transferred is NOT raised in this case. Which isn't helping...

[eradicator]

Ok...so everything I try to make this works fails.

1. Can not prevent insertion even into neutral objects.
2. Can not detect this happening because on_player_fast_transferred event is not raised.
3. Can not prevent insertion because fast-transfer ignores empty player selection.

I don't know what other kind of ugly hack I'm supposed to try next :/.
