Genuinely unsure if a bug but horrible nonetheless

[lodjur.1284]

Hoping this is a bug but who knows.

 

Before the patch, if you had a stack of an item in a bag that didn't move when compacted and that bag was at the end of your inventory.

 

When you used the compact function and had a second stack in a bag that was above it in the inventory, it would fill up the stacks in the order they were on your inventory.

 

For example

My bags could be

Bag slot 1: Generic 20 slot bag

This bag has 1 stack of bloodstone dust, this stack has 10 dust, it is in slot 1

Bag slot 2: 20 Slot invisible bag

This bag has 1 stack of bloodstone dust, this stack has 250 first, it is on the bag's first slot

 

Before the patch, compacting would have resulted in the bloodstone dust stack in bag 1 having 250 dust, and the stack in bag 2 having 10, with neither of the stacks changing their places. This was good.

 

After the patch, nothing happens. This is really awful.

 

This is a horrible horrible change, I will probably need to spend 2 or 3 times as much time on inventory management as before.

 

Just revert this, there's no actual upside to this change.

 

Except for balance changes (which I obviously care about more) I don't think any change in any patch, in any game, has tilted me this hard.

 

The previous system worked flawlessly

Sounds like the fixed a bug nothing in a invisible bag is supposed to be touched so it was broken before.

Well there was no note about it afaik.

 

The previous version had a purpose, the new one is pointless.

 

Neither of us is qualified to speak to what is or isn't a bug/feature.

20 Slots. Items in this bag will never appear in a sell-to-vendor list and will not move when inventory is sorted.

The will not move is kinda self explanetory.
