Ok so I have something to report but it is still ONLY a suspicion.
I’ve submitted 14 bug reports so far for mostly pre-existing issues.
Yesterday the public server I am on went loopy and then shut down unscheduled. Since then I have not had the inventory problems apparent in Name, Heaviest First, and Type. My plan is once I am done the run around I’m currently doing to test it further.
But, if my suspicion IS correct, they’ve fixed it.
I’ll update once I know for sure. Fingers crossed.
