Bug? - The container you are standing on or near appears trapped

I understand what the title text means. When you are able to stand "behind" a trapped bookcase (very useful if you want to steal stuff without entering a room ) and empty it from your inventory screen, it does not let you if it is trapped.

The problem is that it does this with undetectable (call the guards type) traps, as well as normal traps.

Even further, should this even do it for regular traps? I think of it as a bit cheesy that you can find out it is trapped without a thief/cleric to show the trap...

Surely these containers should not show any items in the inventory screen if either trap is still present and you just happen to be on top of one of them...

If anyone wants to try this out, check out Degrodel's house.

So you want to disable looting containers from the inventory screen completely?

Sounds more like a pathfinding issue (caused due to your character trying to reach an unexplored area). You shouldn't have the option of opening up a bookshelf while behind a wall.
