Running into issues with ghost items. These times act as if they are in the players inventory, however do not show as if they are. Attempting to place an item into the slot that the ghost item occupies causes the item to enter the slot for up to 1s, then return to its previous location.

First time this happened I had made a fish trap and placed it into the ocean. Upon retrieving it for the second time (Still trying to figure out how these things work) the item entered my hands. Upon pressing use on the ocean again the item showed in the water, however still displayed in my hands. Upon attempting to remove it from my hands, the item vanished from my invetory. From this point on two slots in my backpack where unusable (Contained ghost item). When I next logged in the item was in these slots. Before this the fish trap visually was in the water but untouchable.
Second time happening was with a sedan wheel and acted slightly differently. Different players could either see, or not see the wheel in my hands. Those who did not see it, did see an un-interacable wheel on the ground. I could not see the wheel in my hands, however could use (Throw, or place onto vehicle). Place the wheel had the car bounce and sit on an invisible wheel. 1 player did see the wheel on the vehicle, all others did not, however could interact with it anyways. re-logging did not fix this issue. Wheel never got stuck in hands.
Third time was with a gun. Went to bandage in an attempt to fix a glitch with vaulting not working. (See https://feedback.bistudio.com/T117057) Doing so caused the gun (repeater) in my hand to dissapear (Second gun was on my back) This fixed the vaulting glitch, however the bandage got stuck into my hand when canceled. Attempting to throw the bandage caused it to leave my hand in the throwing motion, however the use bandage option still existed despite having empty hands (But otherwise acting like holding a bandage). New items could not enter my hands. Unfortunately I did not try using the bandage, as I was frustrated. So no clue what would happen there. Re-logging caused my gun to appear on the ground and the bandage to be in my hands, where it could be interacted with.
May have something to do with use/ interacting with the item. Have not have bug happen with any item without a use feature yet.
