I reported the following bug to the dev team, and got what I perceived
to be a cop out answer. Just wanted to see if I was being too harsh, or
if you thought it was a co-out answer. Have attached my email, their
response, and then my response.

Fair enough, but if that was true, then I imagine putting candles in a
sack would also make them easier to carry, but that doesnt seem to be
the case. And I just tested it it Slashem (yes, different game, but a
lot of the same game mechanics), which has a showweight option, and it
seems the inventory does weight less. If you were to answer that yes,
it is a small bug, but not worth fixing, that would be understandable,
but to say it was intended behaviour, that seems a little odd.
