So when you deconstruct a building it goes to the toolbelt -> great
unless there is a full stack in the toolbelt, then it goes to the inventory -> great
when you are holding the same building "in hand" you're picking up it adds to the stack in hand -> great
unless that stack is full, then it makes a new stack in the toolbelt instead of in the inventory -> not so great

The same thing happens when you craft something you are holding in hand, or when you run down a belt picking it up.

The consequence is you always end up with 2 stacks of which you now need to drop one in the inventory or suffer spaceloss in your toolbelt.

Maybe not really a bug but I can't see why this would be intentional behavior.

You can filter toolbelt slots to prevent exactly this. Simply middle mouse click the slot to set the filter.

Yes I'm aware but then you need to filter every slot and can't add new things to the toolbelt quickly. It loses a lot of its functionality that way.

Press "q" to put the stack back into your inventory. I'm not seeing the issue - it sounds like the toolbelt is working as intended; if there's no stack of the item you're picking up in it - it gets added. If there is, it gets filled and the rest goes into your main inventory.

If you want to get rid of the item on your cursor, press q and it goes into your toolbelt if there's not a stack or a stack with room else it goes to your main inventory.

Yes but I have the item on the cursor for a reason, like I'm building walls while crafting more walls, or rearranging my belts. Things I do regularly, and I end up with an extra stack of something in my toolbelt like at least once per hour on average (and I play lots of hours )

Ok, although minor, I can understand the issue, and the fix wasn't really complicated, so it is fixed for 0.10.10
