When using auto-pause, opening the inventory while swinging a weapon or using an item results in being unable to click on and move items. This has been happening since at least 1.4.0, and has happened to me on both Windows 10 and SteamOS.

I think this has always been the case, as you can't switch items while using an attack. (If you could, then you can probably cancel out slow weapons.)

There are a few items that allow it though, fishing poles for example, although that's a bit more casual.

It's been like this since at least 1.0. Very annoying but unlikely to change at this point. This also happens when you toss out an item with the inventory open.

This isn't really a bug, its a limitation of the system due to how "holding" an item uses some of the same functionality as "using" an item.
