I understand that I messed up; however, I think the penalty for my mistake was a bit extreme (1 nail):

I made the mistake of left clicking instead of right clicking on shallow water with a bucket in my hand and the bucket was dropped -- so far ok; however, the bucket disappeared which seems rather extreme for what will be a fairly common newbie/tired-gamer mistake.

Sometimes, bad guys would want to throw all of your buckets in the water to get rid of them though :/

Maybe change it and make items gone when throw on deep water not on shallow?

Happened to me one time too. But its one nail So making a new nail isnt as hard than making a forum thread :p

Reminded me of my early HnH days

Not a bug though Imo, just be more cautious.

For someone who just got the silver together for that nail over a night's play, that is much harder than making a forum thread. If things dropped in shallow water had a one or two minute life time before despawning, it would be a kindness.

I considered it a bug in that the game over-penalizes players for making simple mechanical mistakes in the manipulation of the UI (as opposed to tactical or strategic errors). The feature request is merely a secondary suggestion of how the bug could be addressed (you notice it wasn't in the original bug report, but only added after discussion started).

what you consider a bug and what actually is a bug is 2 different things

True, they are, but since I was reporting what I believed to be a bug, I naturally entered it in the bug forum. If I need to post it somewhere else (such as help or new features) so that the developers can verify that it is indeed a bug, thus authorizing me to post it in the bug forum, I can do that; however, that seems rather byzantine.
