Different reach distances to grab items from large cart

[Wilczan 2,048]

Iam standing on opening on third floor and got large cart on the first floor.

All floors between me and cart are openings.

 

I cannot take items from it by using "take" option (context menu or shortcut).

 

but

 

I can take items from it just by dragging and dropping into inventory.

sometimes distances seem way off depending on your 'compass direction". For instance, sometimes with a wagon i cannot reach either "front" animals unless i rotate the wagon to face a different way and then suddenly I can reach them fine.  Sometimes i cannot reach if i  am facing something from the NW but can reach just fine to the SE  etc.  so now i sometimes try to circle / rotate /turn because the distance seems to fluctuate depending on your starting compass direction. 

 

So, it might be because you are lets say NE of the cart and cannot "take" but you can "drag" because the cart is not NE of you, and the game calculates those distances different even though it is the exact same distance.

I know that sounds confusing, but taking FROM might involve an opposite distance calculation than dragging TO

Annoying as heck but it might make it harder to correct the code than it seems.

This game occasionally has really bizarre issues with distances  at times, possibly because of its tile based system.
