Game Mechanics: "You seemed to have misplaced that item"

[Malrubius]

I had a similar (but not exactly the same) issue months ago with a bandage. I could not buy more and the one I had would not go away. On the bright side, I could bandage myself all I wanted forever...but it was weird.

I have not seen it since though. Hopefully a dev chimes in here for you.

The fix for this is left-click looting. Loot the corpse and instead of right-clicking the loot you want simply left-click the item to be picked up and then left-click again; this time on your inventory screen to auto place the item in a container (or an open inventory slot). My friends and I have adopted this technique and it seems to work consistently. I hope this helps.
