This is a duplicate of MC-256470 as interacting with a chiseled bookshelf overrides every action. If you want to place a hanging sign on it shift right click
Just to clarify, the hand animation plays here because of MC-256470 but no knowledge book is placed onto the chiseled bookshelf. I can confirm this behavior. MC-256477.mp4![]()

Hello; would it be okay if I could request a review/reopening of this ticket?
The triaging of similar reports such as MC-172553, MC-165510, MC-160926, and
MC-166885suggest that the hand animation should not be played under circumstances where no interaction takes place. Normally, the hand animation is a visual indication to the player that an interaction was carried out, and having the hand animation be played in situations where nothing changes is quite perplexing and misleading. Thanks in advance.
