please consider.
When I crouch and have empty hands, I can open a gate.
When I crouch and have an item in my hands I can't open a gate.
When I stand and have empty hands, I can open a gate.
When I stand and have an item in my hands, I can open a gate.
So the behavior is not consistent. I don't see why that one (out of the four scenarios) bars me from opening a gate. If anything, to make it consistent, make it so I can't open a gate if my hands are full whether or not I'm crouching.
This is why this behavior seems like a bug.

Okay. So you're telling me that little bit of nonsense is exactly what you want. Well I can accept that. I don't like it, but it's your product.

In other words. Why should I have to stand up to open a gate with an apple?
Maybe I should just never be able to open a gate with an apple (or sword or stick or whatever)
