> ## Basic Info: > > Platform: Steam > Issue Type: Gameplay > Game Mode: Official > Server Type: PvP > Map: Exiled Lands > Server Name: Public Test Server > Mods: None * * * > ## Bug Description: > > Crafting in benches with any sort preference other than No Sort with multiple full stacks of materials, bench auto sorts highest stack to the front once an item is depleted, created or removed - causing multiple partial stacks. * * * > ## Bug Reproduction: > > 1. Set sort preference in any bench to Name, Heaviest First or Type. > 2. Place multiple full stacks of materials in inventory of bench. > 3. Select recipe in bench and initiate crafting of preferred number. > 4. Go about your business doing something else, maybe coming back to draw from completed crafts, adding more stacks, etc.,… > 5. Notice that the multiple stacks all have some taken out of them. > 6. Watching the crafting it can be seen that bench auto sorts the highest stack to the front if an item is depleted, created or removed and the bench only draws from the first stack of type of material. > > [Here’s a video depicting the issue](https://youtu.be/ZgNOgr8dVsQ?si=gRYwld1ZQG_5Cilq), might want to speed it up as it’s long and dry. > > Benches did not behave like this before the UI update even with Heaviest. It can be particularly annoying especially with some benches having limited inventories, when you want to craft large amounts of something it means you have to restack the items manually or Take All and then back into the bench’s inventory. > > This does not happen with No Sort. > > _This is a pre-existing issue._ ---

this bug is from the introduction of the “new” inventory which is worse for the user than the old one which worked perfectly and there was absolutely no reason to change it ---

I cannot stress how much I despise the change to UI; because of this change and the subsequent bugs it presented within days on Live I gave up and uninstalled. I was so sad and disappointed. It was not needed, anticipated or received warmly.
