Only melee weapons so far

Checked again, every item that supposed to be on the back of the player is on the floor.

Does that include items on pants, shirts etc?
I have that rice on my shirt which is on the floor (picture).

If I have a hockey stick in my hands and I eat an apple the hockey stick is shown on the ground in the vicinity part of the inventory and the hockey stick is removed from the hotkey. Every time I eat I have to add the hockey stick back to the hotkey.

Also I had the hockey stick in hotkey No. 1 and and crafted stone knife in hotkey No 3. With the hockey stick in my hands pressing hotkey No. 3 did nothing, to equip the knife I first had to unequip the hockey stick.

With the hockey stick on my back and set to a hotkey and with nothing in my hands if I press the hotkey the hockey stick is shown in my hands but is also still shown on my back.

I did not try this with other items as I have found no other mele weapons.

Forgot to add I am playing 0.56 experimental
