Very good question, and was the reason for my note bout accidental inventory transfers.
The solution I alluded to was to pop up an "are you sure" style dialog box. However, I hate those with a passion. So I'm fishing for more optimal solutions. It is possible there may be no good solution to this difficulty, but at least it will have been discussed, and may spawn other improvements or be revisited later.
