[MC-68051] Player inventory GUI changes position when Buffs/Debuffs appear/dissappear

I see that this issue was posted 2 years ago (MC-5056). However, I was moving around items in my inventory when the GUI position changed and the item under my cursor was no longer the item I was placing individual items into. The buff left my character because I had moved outside the influence of my Beacon and the beacon buffs timed out.

If this is not a bug, this issue should at least be a Feature Change Request.

I can't believe that this is acceptable to other player, especially if they are in the heat of a PVP battle or about to be attacked by a mob and need something from their inventory only to have that item under the cursor change position.

A GUI should never change position if user input is requested. The player inventory has plenty of items that should not change location under the users cursor while in use.

Galaxy_2Alex, I just went to 1.7.10 to verify that this problem does not occur and it doesn't.

In 1.7.10, when a buff goes away, the GUI stays where it was generated, "not centered" since the buff info was removed. When you close the inventory screen and then re-open it, the GUI then changed location to be centered.

This is what I would expect 1.8 to do, but so far when the buff goes away, the GUI instantly changes location to reflect the loss of buffs.

I'm sorry to be such a pest, but this issue should not be considered WAI since it's not working the way 1.7.10 is currently working. Unless Mojang is looking to anger a large population of players.

This can't be reproduced anymore because the problem has been fixed. I just saw a buff on the side of the inventory GUI where the GUI was still centered even though there was a buff. When the buff went away, nothing changed since the GUI was centered to begin with. In 1.7.10, the GIU and buff info was centered so that when the buff went away, the GUI would have been off center to the right, so the GUI would change location to re-center itself.

I was told back when I first reported this that the GUI changing was just the way it was and it wouldn't be changed. I'm glad to see that I was told wrong and that this has finally been resolved. Having a GUI change location on the user while using it was very frustrating.
