The bug
Before MC-3587 was fixed when you closed the inventory while you had an item on the cursor, you had dropped the item. However now it will always put the item in your inventory. I (and proably many other people) have dropped items using this previously. I am not sure if this change is intended or not. I hope it isn’t.
How to reproduce:
Open your inventory
Click onto an item
Close the UI
❌ The item is not dropped unlike in previous versions.

Completely agree, this behavior is extremely annoying. My thought is the Fix for MC-87935 (similar problem in Creative mode) is where it went wrong in Survival.

It probably would be a bit annoying for people who were used to this old behavior, but i think this way is better and makes it consistent with the crafting grid where it also didn't drop the items.
You can still drop them by dragging them out of the inventory (to the gray background) or... well, using Q.

To clarify, yes, items from inventory can be dropped by dragging OFF of the grey background. And as to the use the Q comment, if it would drop stacks, fine. Emptying your inventory of dozens of stacks of cobblestone using Q is not reasonable.

Yes you can, with ctrl + Q it lets you drop entire stacks.
