b [Won't Fix] Shortcut can generate more than one free wire

Double-clicking the copper wire shortcut button and pressing Q, repeatedly, will keep adding a free wire to the inventory, building up the stack.

Maybe it is a "why would you even do that anyway" kind of bug, but after finding it I thought I may as well mention it.

I was able to reproduce it, but it seemed like a pretty slow and annoying process. It was always possible to cheat the copper wire shortcut if you really wanted to, for example, by placing the generated wire in a chest or on the ground (it only looks in the inventory). As long as it's a slow and laborious process, not feasible to produce real industrial quantities of wire, I don't think it's worth chasing the race condition.
