Consumables do not equip properly in power tray

Dear moderators/devs, this is NOT the same bug as consumables disappearing from the power tray after being used. Kindly do not merge my thread with this one over here.
Here's a riddle for you. I have a bug that only affects 2 of my 4 characters. When you swap/equip consumables by double clicking them from the inventory the second item will not occupy the same tray slot that the first one had.
Say your ship has 2 device slots, in #1 you have a Weapons Battery, in #2 you have a Subspace Field Modulator, and in your inventory you have a Red Matter Capacitor. If you double click the RMC from an open inventory menu, it will replace whatever item is in device slot #1.
Now let's say you have the Weapons Battery ability in power tray row 2 column 10. If you double click the RMC, instead of having the RMC ability appear in row 2 column 10, it appears in row 4 column 4. Do you see how this makes it impossible to change battery types in the heat of combat? (As in "oh crud forget weapons power I need a shield boost NOW but don't have EPTS.")
I have a video of this bug in action here:

and over here I have a video showing how the behavior used to be before season 7 broke it. As I mentioned above, for some reason this correct behavior actually still works properly on 2 of my 4 characters. My best guess is that the 2 characters that have this bug are my only 2 that have changed their Ready starship since after season 7 launched. The other 2 are still using the same ships since back in the day.

Again, this was working perfectly before Season 7. I've already filed tickets about it that haven't been addressed. I should also note this affects ground equipment as well, but there is a workaround for ground where you drag the item directly from the Personal Device slots to the power tray (instead of opening up the Powers list with the P key) which can't be done in space with the Ship Device slots. In space you have to use the Powers list/menu.

The standard line is "working as intended"
I am not sure about this, if it has 'feature' status why dosnt it effect all of his characters?
