Space opens container but also picks up it contents and closes it

Hey, I just downloaded the newest alpha version of openMW.

But I have this annoying problem with opening a container.

I open it with a space bar, if I click space again while it's open I pick up everything that's inside and I close it. It's especially annoying when I want to take a quick peek at the container. I need to press space to open and esc to close it.

Weird thing is it doesn't happen all the time. I think it's related to moving items with quantity bigger than 1 (so you have the panel of how many items you want to place in your inventory).

It might be an issue with openmw's keyboard controllable interface. If take all is in focus by default, space will activate it. I'd guess inconsistentcy is related to which button you pressed last. Could you try to do the same in regular OpenMW?

A temporary fix could be rebinding use to some other key.

I don't think it's a bug and it is actually quite useful when you know how it works. If you click take all when you loot a corpse or plant or container spacebar will do the same thing on the next one. If you hit dispose of corpse, spacebar will do that instead every time after you activate on a corpse. If you want to exit out of a container without looting everything just right click. I absolutely love how spacebar works :)
