[MC-70982] CTRL-PickBlock on Command Block replaces item in selected hotbar slot instead of using an empty slot

1. Type command into a command block
2. Hold any item in your hand such as sandstone
3. While holding the standstone LCONTROL + PICKBLOCK your command block with a command

Result:
The item in your hand is replaced with the command block instead of the command block being placed in an empty hotbar slot

Not very important, but a bug is a bug I guess....

Same thing happens with other data holder blocks like furnaces and chests.
I prefer to have it replace the held item so I don't have to clear the hotbar.
Currently it is a very convenient bug, if it is one.

I would suggest making MC-74234 the main report, as it has better information.
