Unable to open chests or crafting table while holding Weeping VInes

While holding weeping vines, I am unable to open chests or crafting tables. Also, when I place weeping vines it shows that they are placed, but I keep the same amount of vines. For example, I currently have 17 weeping vines in my hand and I can place them on ceilings, but still have 17 vines in my hand no matter how many I place.
