MC-37529If the game crashes while holding (moving) an item in inventory, the item will be lost.
While playing 1.7, I had been sorting around stuff in my inventory, when the video locked up and had to restart the service. When I logged back in again, the item had vanished. I looked thoroughly around the area and my inventory (and chests) to see if I had put it away or dropped it, yet I couldn't find it. I experienced this in survival, but I suppose that it could also happen in creative, if the bug held true. Because of the way I restarted it, it did not create a crash report.
Steps to reproduce:
1: Open up an inventory
2: Click an item so that the pointer is holding it.
3: Crash the game hard.
I should also note that there was another weird issue with a furnace. The flames didn't start to burn down until the last smelt, with a block of coal. It did not seem to happen again.
Environment
Linux, Java 1.7

This does seem incongruous. Tickets such as MC-37529, MC-49062, and MC-18216 all suggest that the cursor is not part of the inventory, or the world, because items can be lost if they are held when the game closes unexpectedly. However, I don't know if that's still true since the inventory code was rewritten. It's possible that the cursor is now part of the inventory, and as such, commands that work on the inventory should be able to find it. That the clear command can find it also does suggest that it can be done.
You've been lucky you just lost the item you're holding, it could've aswell completely corrupted your world.
