Reported directly to devteam, player observed that objects on the floor had their bless/curse state change when reading a blessed scroll of remove curse while confused. Message feedback mentioned a silver saber being dropped. I didn't attempt to view the ttyrec playbacks; what I'm sure happened was that the saber was secondary weapon for dual wielding and had been uncursed; the confused remove curse effect cursed it, which in turn caused it to be dropped. The saber's 'next object' pointer became the [previous] top of the pile at that spot and further object traversal intended to process the rest of hero's inventory ended up processing floor objects there instead. This bug has been present for over 20 years (since 3.3.0 came out in late 1999, when dual wielding was introduced and cursing of the secondary weapon forced it to be dropped since making it become welded was deemed to be too complicated) and never been reported. Most likely players keep secondary weapons blessed so the scroll effect doesn't touch them and simple object traversal sticks with inventory. Or items at the spot have unknown BUC state so having them be affected wouldn't be particularly noticeable.
