Research direction

Reproduce the behavior on WorldGuard 7.0.8-beta-01 with WorldEdit 7.2.12, Paper 1.19.2, and a region using interact=true and chest-access=true. Verify that taking and returning a book from a lectern both work without build permission, while preserving the stated region restrictions.

Bug Description

If a player want to take a book from a lectern, the region need the activated "interact" flag (to open the GUI) and the "chest-access" flag to take the book.

But if the player wants to put the book back on the lectern, he must have building rights. This makes no sense compared to a normal inventory block.

Expected Behavior

With activated "interact" flag, the player has access to put the book back to the lectern too. He does not need build-permission for the region.

Reproduction Steps
  1. Region with a region-owner, "interact = true", "chest-access = true"
  2. Testplayer take a book
  3. Testplayer can't put the book back
Optional WorldGuard-Report

Now, the general question: was it planned this way and can it be changed?
