I have noticed a few instances here and there where the items placed in containers by the game are positioned beyond the borders of where the player can put them. I have also encountered this happening when I drag something onto a container a party member is carrying without opening the container itself, so the game places it inside.

Here are a few locations in Serpent Isle where I have spotted this:
- Monitor, next to Cellia's shop, one of the crates containing pelts
- Monitor, back room of provisioner's shop, right and left chests
- barn by Sleeping Bull inn, SE chest on upper level
- Fawn, house in far SW corner, chest in bedroom
- Fawn, middle house on eastern edge, bag in drawers in bedroom
- Fawn treasure chamber, SW chest with infinity bow in it
- cyclops corpse at 46S 38E (near big red gateway)
- Furnace, corpse next to Serpent Gate
- Claw Isle, chest in front of lich statue
- Claw Isle, SW chest in room next to statue

Attached is a screenshot to demonstrate this glitch.

    Since I haven't played SI in quite a while, could you please be more specific? For example, where is Celia's shop? I found a couple chests in Sleeping Bull's barn, but the contents showed up okay.

    Celia is the fur woman, in the last street northwest in Monitor. Her room is between her fur shop and the provisioner at 936x2516 decimal coordinates. All of the crates in that room are behaving crazy.
    One has the white fur pelt in an odd position, but once you touch it, it will snap to another position and stay there. The other crates' pelts are also behaving odd, once you take one of the pelts one of the other takes its place.very odd...

    The Monitor provisioner's shop is right next to the furrier mentioned above, on the east side, in the same building.

    Here's a screenshot of the specific chest at Sleeping Bull. The chest in question is the one right in front of the Avatar.

    Timo, even though I think we now have it covered, but you can easily use the F2 cheat menu to get the coordinates, which makes it easier to just get there (especially with the newer "teleport to coordinates" cheat).

    /Off topic, interesting to see that lock stock operating system tools seem to have problems with pcx files these days... only underlines my feature request for png screenshots :)

    I also noticed a reliable way to have the game place something in a container beyond boundaries as you play. Take a magic shield and drag it onto the backback of a party member on the paperdoll. There is a good chance it will be placed in the bottom right corner of the backpack's gump, beyond where it should be. If this does not happen, try dragging first another item onto the backpack and then the shield. Also try with other party members.
