Can't drop an item while holding another item with the cursor (with exceptions)

You can't use Ctrl Q while holding an item in your cursor. This applies to many inventories, even the crafting table, where Ctrl Q support was recently added.

This is very interesting. I observe the following behavior:

  1. Launch Minecraft

  2. Load into a world where you are in creative mode

  3. Go into your inventory and pick up an item with your cursor

  4. Hover over another item

  5. Press Q (or ctrl+Q)
    ✔ The items in the slot below the cursor (not the items held by the cursor) are dropped

  6. Put your held items into an inventory slot and close your inventory

  7. Interact with a crafting table

  8. Once again, pick up an item, hover over another item and press Q
    ✔ The items underneath are still dropped

  9. Put your held items into an inventory slot

  10. Place something in the crafting grid- it doesn't have to be a crafting ingredient

  11. One more time, pick up an item, hover over another item and press Q
    ❌ No items are dropped, and they will not drop again until you relaunch the game

If you load into a world in survival mode, the bug occurs immediately, but fixes itself if you then go into creative mode, until you interact with a crafting table (you don't even need to place something in an input slot in this case).

Thank you for your report!
