[Bug] Pill sprites from the Lifesaver Belt and M276 Pattern Storage Rig becoming invisible while in hand.

Description

Toggling the belt mode to obtain pills from either medical belt allows the player to directly obtain a pill from the belt however, if you middle mouse button a pill bottle while the belt is toggled in this way, the storage for the pill bottle is revealed and a pill is taken out at the same time. This pill is invisible in your hand and incredibly frustrating to deal with. If you are not aware of the bug, you will often find yourself trying to equip things in your hand not knowing the hand is holding an invisible pill already.

Difference between expected and actual behavior

First of all, middle mouse clicking should only open the pill bottle inventory, not take a pill out of that inventory simultaneously. Secondly, any object taken from an inventory should not be suddenly rendered spriteless. Either no pill should be taken from the pill bottle inside the belt upon middle mouse clicking the pill bottle or the pill taken out should be visible to the player.

Steps to reproduce

Step 1: Toggle the belt mode on one of the medical belts to allow for pills to directly be taken from the bottle to the hand. Step 2: Middle mouse click a pill bottle in said belt as you would to open any container to see what is inside. Step 3: Look at your selected hand and notice no sprite currently occupies that hand. Step 4: Attempt to place an object from your hand into an appropriate container and notice the pill from the bottle suddenly has a sprite again and is placed into the container.

Length of time in which bug has been known to occur

This bug has bugged me for some time(more than a few months) but I finally put two and two together to realize the invisible pills in my hand were coming from the middle mouse click into the pill bottle so decided to report it. I had mistakenly attributed many instances of this bug to lag not allowing me to pick things up. Only to realize now that I did in fact have an invisible pill in my hand when trying to grab a kit or other medical implement.
