Hotbar/Tool system doesn't update order on tool removal

Whenever a tool is dropped/removed, The hotbar never updates until all tools are dropped or replaced.


(this occurs platform-wide, and is not exclusive to just studio)

Repro Steps
if you want to reproduce this, it’s simple as having more than 2 tools, and dropping them, either via script or simply just dropping them with backspace
here is a demo place:

First time occurring; Forever
When does it occur; Constantly
Importance; Moderate

System Information;
Microsoft Windows 11 Pro
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060

Expected behavior

A little like DOORS Inventory system. If a tool is dropped, it updates the order. Say tool 2 is dropped, tool 3 would take tool 2’s place

This behavior has been present ever since that Hotbar UI has been added, so I don’t think it’s a bug, just consistency. The Doors way of doing it seems better however.
