Craft recipes block items for other actions

Barley seeds from a bucket in hand are not recognized when attempting to plant grass

If you have a recipe up such as crafting flour open which uses the seed type in your inventory and then try to plant grass with those seeds instead, you will be told that you do not have seeds in your inventory to plant with

[leafstab]

this applies to rocks too when they are highlighted

[MagicManICT]

Having a crafting window open locks the items from being used for anything else. Those items will be highlighted.

I find this annoying. I see no reason why the craft should block the items.

[sabinati]

Since you can craft out of containers and have multiple people crafting with the same mats it locks those, which is good

[jorb]

Um, wat? This is intended. The craft window indicates the items it wants to use, and, indeed, blocks them. I think it should.

[jordancoles]

Fair enough

I think it shouldn't.

Why?

I might want to make flour in a moment, but if I want to quickly create some grass tiles while on my way to the queern: the game should let me, instead insisting that me forgetting to want to make flour is a requirement to sow grass (in case the seeds are in a bucket).

[sabinati]

why would you grass with barley, ever

It should show what it uses to craft, its not fun if you accidentally use some valuable stuff to craft something stupid. For example, exceptional very high quality bear hide to craft some stinging poultices.
