Switching to an item in the hotbar while turning drops the item (in an infinite loop) instead of actually switching to it. Strangely only occurs in first and second slots of the hotbar.

What I expected:
To be able to switch to the first and second slots of the hotbar (while turning) without any trouble.

What happened:
I was turning, and wanted to switch to my sword (which was in the the first slot) but instead of equipping it, the little green bar (that rises slowly when dropping an item) popped up instead, and the sword dropped. But when I picked the sword back up, it dropped again and just infinitely kept dropping whenever I picked it back up. I could only stop the annoying cycle by switching to another item or pausing the game. (The glitch is not limited to swords)

I tried the glitch out on all the other slots of the hotbar, but only seemed to work for first two. Very annoying however, especially when you're adventuring and realize you accidentally dropped your sword somewhere along the way.

Steps to replicate glitch:
1. Put any item in the first or second slot of your hotbar
2. Select a slot of your hotbar (any will do)
3. Turn
4. While turning, try selecting the item you put in your first or second slot
5. Wait for item to drop
6. Pick up item
7. Cycle will repeat
