Alright, I thing we should come to term that dividing food tab and container tab is not a good idea

before the big change I used to TAB select the whole food category, direction drop the stuff on a tile and unload all my precious food loot on the ground  
NOW, with bottled liquids, this is a big mistake because the procedure force drops the liquids on the ground

so I have to carefully (and slowly) select all the food related containers in order to drop them on the ground without emptying them

Also, I could use the old brackets system in the item name to see right away how many charges has that item (for example, 7 swigs of alcohol)

Agree this is a problem, about as annoying as cans and sealed jars no longer preserving food since they rot inside the container regarless.

Its just a bug right now, the change to the inventory system has had wide-reaching consequences, which isn’t surprising. These bugs will continue to get worked out, but its a pretty radical change.
