Double-clicking to collect all items of the same kind disallows placing them back in a slot for a few moments

@MrMuskle This bug has existed for many versions and significantly affects the smoothness of gameplay. I hope Mojang can fix it as soon as possible. If needed, I can find time to provide a bug demonstration video. Thank you. (I just want smooth gameplay — no more "stuck" clicks.)

For anyone who’s being inconvenienced by this bug since it’s still in the game. You can bypass it by using one of the two alternative ways of quick looting.

Method 1: Take one item, place it in a different stack, then shift single-click that stack instantly. Note that you can’t press shift until you’ve combined the stacks.

Method 2 (Speedrunner method): Hold shift, press hotbarslot (or offhand) key -> click → hotbarslot key → click
You have to do this rapidly enough for your clicks to register as a double click. This will put the stack in that hotbar slot.

This bypass of course won’t stop the inventory from feeling janky for fast clicking players but it’s a good excuse to practice quick looting.

Correction: for method one you just have to move the item to a different slot, no stacking required
