Bug report: game automatically deleted squid
Hello. When I was playing a round of Nubby, I had an item automatically delete itself from slot #7 when I was playing without any input on my end. I took a picture, but I've never submitted a discussion post on steam before, so I don't know how to insert it. My slots looked like this:

Jacks+, All-Seeing Pyramid+, Kazoo+, E Block+, E Block+, Squid+, Squid

I was using Bologna Tony, so all the triggers were randomised. I can't remember all of them, but essentially the build worked by having Jacks+ pop pegs that triggered it to pop even more pegs, and somehow that triggered slots 5, 6, and 7 to trigger, which would ramp up the doubling from Kazoo+ through the chances to force trigger it more than once through E Blocks. Before the deletion, I noticed that both the sprites of the Squid (not Squid+) and the E Block (not E Block+) were in slot #7. When the round ended, normally the squid's sprite resets and the item it copied's sprite is deleted, but instead, there was no sprite at all, and the next round it didn't reappear.

What I think happened is instead of just copying the effects of the item the squid copies, the code replaces the squid temporarily with the item it copies, and when the run ends, replaces the item with the squid again. However, when a squid copies a squid copying an item, the game gets confused with what it's copying. Both sprites are in the same slot. When the round ends, it deletes the item it copied, which in this case, the squid in slot #7 is copying the squid AND the item the squid is copying. As a result, the squid in slot #7 is seen as a copy of the squid+ in slot #6, and deleted both the copy of the Squid+'s un-upgraded E Block and the Squid's un-upgraded copy of the Squid+.

This bug could've been avoided if I just had swapped the items in slot #5 and slot #6, but I didn't think it would bug like this. Anyways, let me know if this is the wrong place to post bug reports, and if so, please point me in the right direction so I can post this there. Thank you.
