Bug: picking up blueprint too close to bench initiates building

❓Questions

Sometimes when I am in my base and try to throw a blueprint to reposition it or sell it to my vendor, it doesn’t fly out of my hands but gets stuck right where I am standing. Im on PC, and the pickup. Iron is usually E but in these cases the pickup button is F. I think the blueprints do this when they’re not properly on the ground. Anyway, when I press F to pickup the blueprint and if I am standing too close to the build table then the blueprint begins building as if I had thrown it onto the table.

This hes resulted in me accidentally building several blueprints that I wanted to get rid of and wastes a lot of table time. I don’t know if the first part of the BP not throwing is part of this bug, but it is what gets it into the inconsistent state where I have to pick it up with F.

If I am not near a build table, then pressing F adjusts the blueprint slightly and the action changes to an E pickup where I can interact with the BP normally.

This happens to me several times a day so let me know if you need some screenshots or something.
