When using keyboard and mouse, opening your inventory will automatically select the helmet slot as if your cursor was hovering over it despite the cursor being far away from the helmet slot and closing your inventory will always remove and store your helmet (if you have one equipped) in the inventory, If the inventory is full then your helmet will be dropped. The expected result should be that whatever the cursor is hovering over will not automatically highlight the helmet slot green. Replicating this bug is very simple and has a clear culprit, replicating this will only require you to open your inventory on Keyboard (make sure you do NOT touch the mouse for this bug), upon opening you will see that the helmet slot is automatically highlighted green despite your cursor hovering in a completely different area of your screen, now close your inventory and you will now see that your helmet has been unequipped or dropped (depending if you have a full inventory).
