It's a controller thing. It used to be that, while in just inventory, RT+A was to drop that stack/item. But with a container open RT+A was used to swap an item/stack between chest and inventory. You had to back out of a container then drop items if you wanted to throw something on the ground.

Now RT+A is ALWAYS to drop stuff on the ground. Whether you're in your inventory or a container. And LT+X is to swap stacks between inventory and containers. So when I'm full up on ores and overencumbering to my boat to put stuff in storage my instinct is to use the old RT+A to transfer stacks into storage but now it just tosses the items out of your inventory, falls through the ship, and onto the bottom of the ocean.

So far I've been able to actually recover the items because it hasn't been too deep, though two of those were barely reachable. I just need to get used to the change, which I know I'll be able to do. Fortunately most of the time I'm on solid ground dealing with chests lol.
