Description: When swapping an unfavorited item with an item of the same type that is favorited, the favorite status transfers to the previously unfavorited item.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Have two instances of the same item in the inventory and/or hotbar (for example, the same weapon with different modifiers).
2. Alt + left click one of the items to favorite it.
3. Left click either of the items to hold it.
4. Left click the other item to swap them.
5. Left click an empty inventory or hotbar slot to place the held item.
6. Now the previously unfavorited item will be favorited and vice versa.

Other details:
-Journey mode (haven't tested other modes)
-Happens both with and without autopause enabled
 
It is actually intended if you swap two items of the exact same type that the favorite status between them gets swapped.
 
I wondered if that might be the case, since it can be useful in some situations, but I thought I'd report it since it could cause some confusion in other cases and might actually cause you to trash something you didn't mean to.
