Webbin on me prevents stealing from someone else

Trying to steal something from a mob, but my own webbing is preventing me from "letting go" of the chest that I'm trying to steal from a mob that has no webbing. A villager is in perfect health. You peek at the inventory: (Glowing) a floating chest <514hp/100%hp 519m/95%m 924mv/97%mv> 1 AM 18568tnl (-9.74%) civilized steal chest 2.vil You try to let go of a floating chest, but the gummy webbing thwarts you! You can't pry it away.
