Can also confirm in 1.17.1 Pre-release 2. I thought this was a fix to MC-87935.
As per MC-231366, this bug also affects the survival mode inventory.
When you are in inventory and are holding one or more items with the pointer/cursor, it used to be that if you exited the inventory by pressing "e" or "Esc", the item would drop. This is no longer the case - the item returns to the inventory.
Per MC-248901, if doing this, and switching to survival/adventure will cause a ghost item (server correctly says no item exists), so this is fully client caused (client controls creative menu, not server).

Can confirm.
