Summary0007261: main hand and off hand get reversed.
Descriptionwhile managing inventory my sword ends up in my left hand and my shield in my right... it doesn't seem as though you can hold that weapon in your main hand again, even if you put away your sword and shield, and remove only the sword.

Drop both weapon and the shield.
Then the first item picked up ends in your main hand, the second in the off hand.

Are you sure? I got my hands switched up just now, and I was able to fix it by dropping the sword and shield (and everything else in my hands), and then picking up the sword. Maybe you have something else in your hands?

i removed both weapon and shield from my hands, and grabbed the sword first.

just to check, i did it again. this time i had a two handed sword, and picked up another two handed sword. copper - rigt; bronze - left... i drop both, and pick up the bronze sword "with your left hand"

Maybe your character's left-handed? I think it's a 50/50 chance.

When you attack using Shift+A, which hand's weapon shows up at the top of the list? That's your main hand.

the right hands weapon is at the top of the list. so my right hand is my main hand, but after this weird little bug, i cant pick up the weapon that was originally in my main hand... with my main hand.

Yes, we need a .zip file that contains a folder with a name like "region1". You'll have to register at http://dffd.wimbli.com/ before you can upload.

Saves are in data/save/<region#>
Just take the entire "region" folder and put it in a zip yourself (with winzip, or 7zip for example).

I got this bug in 0.40.24. It doesn't matter in what order I remove my weapon and shield from a container or in which order I pick them up - the weapon always gets in the left hand and the shield in the right.
When I enter the combat and order a strike, the weapon at the top of the list (under "a") is the shield, so it seems that my character is right-handed after all...

-EDIT-
The workaround:
- empty your hands,
- put something in left hand,
- take out your weapon from the backpack,
- put the item in your left hand into backpack,
- take out your shield from the backpack.

Been punching people barehanded so I hadn't noticed this myself.

The goblin there is left handed (punch/kick with left hand is the top option) for sure.

1. Aim an attack at the person beside you, notice that the first option should be the dagger in your left hand.
2. Drop the dagger, pick it back up, aim an attack, the first option should be the shield in your right hand.
3. Strap your weapons, draw them, the dagger will be in your right hand for some reason, but still shows as the top option.
4. Drop it, pick it back up, shield in your left is the top option.
5. Drop both, pick them up, whichever item you pick up first ends up in your right hand, so pick up the shield, then the dagger.
6. Aim an attack, the dagger should be the first option, and it should be in your left hand.
7. Strap your weapons, draw them, dagger goes back to being in your right hand, but remains the first option when aiming attacks.
