I used the pipette on the chest connected with the others and I get this:

"The mod Smart chest (0.0.14) caused a non-recoverable error.
Please report this error to the mod author.

Error while running event smartchest::on_player_pipette (ID 95)
smartchest/scripts/chest.lua:889: attempt to index local 'b' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
smartchest/scripts/chest.lua:889: in function 'select_chest'
smartchest/scripts/chest.lua:964: in function <smartchest/scripts/chest.lua:954>"

I cannot reproduce the problem.
Can you give some informations on the other mods you have ?
Maybe you have use the chest before having research the technology "smart chest" (in editor mode) ?

I did run into the same issue, causing a "back to menu" crash.
I used the pipette tool via Hotkey (Q) on a Smart Chest
