MC-58812Pick-Block and drag will only create a limited number of stacks for an item
I was trying to fill up a chest with eggs (in creative mode) so I could test a system where items would get put in the first available chest, but then I found a problem...
What I expected to happen was...:
I expected to be able to hold the pick-block key with an egg, and fill up the whole chest in one drag of the mouse
What actually happened was...:
However, it would not copy more slots than you originally had items in the stack.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. place a chest
2. grab an egg from the creative inventory
3. open the chest
4. middle-click on egg
5. middle-click and drag in the chest's inventory, trying to fill the chest
Environment
Windows 7, Windows 8
Created Issue:
Pick-Block and drag will only create 16 stacks of eggs

(Seems kinda suspicious that an egg (stack size 16) fills up 16 slots, and a shovel(stack size 1) will only fill 1. Hmmmm.). I also want to be clear that if I do the same procedure again, it will fill up another 16 slots, and doesn't just stop at the first 16. Anyways, I hope the info I've provided is useful! Back to that project...

[Mod] Pokechu22, it's MC-58812
I think I have a theory on why this is the case: Since this functionality is related to the functionality of splitting a stack by left-click (or right-click) dragging, I think that there is a restriction that in the other cases would prevent splitting the stack so far that it can't cover the slots requested. Since a full stack of eggs is 16, it's trying to say it can't split any farther, even though it's not actually splitting the stack (it's copying them.). Basically: this is a carry-over restriction that ought not to apply to this specific feature. I hope what I said makes enough sense to be useful.
I've now tested a 64-stackable item in a 'triple-chest' (shameful I know, using a bug for investigating another bug), and I've noticed that it tries to copy only 64 stacks, and won't go any farther. It looks like my theory is holding so far.
Update: I've actually noticed that if you start with a smaller stack, it will only let you create as many full stacks as items you had in your original stack. EDIT: just to make it clear, for this, you just take the stack and middle-click-drag it into the inventory
Does this still affect the current version/snapshot 1.8.1/1.8.2-pre1?It still affects 1.8.2-pre1
Confirmed for 1.9.4.
Confirmed in 1.10.1
1.10.1 is a bit under 3 years old, and isn't supported anymore. And this bug was fixed in 16w43a, which is a snapshot for 1.11. 1.10.1 was definitely affected at the time, but you should update if you want fixes.
