crazyhouse annoying bug?

Hello,
I postponed this message thinking it was a picnic issue. But as it happened again, i figured i should share it, just to see if it occured to anyone else.

I play a lot of crazyhouse and when you take a piece it doesn't appear in your stock until your opponent moves. And the pieces in your stock kinda trade places.
No big deal yet.
But when you premove it can be annoying.
Last time (and of course in a critical position) i took a bishop, while waiting my opponen's turn, i grabbed a knight put it on a square (without really premoving though), my opponent answered, i dropped my knight, my stock scrambled and a bishop appeared instead.

It happened a couple times. Anyone else?

By the way i love lichess, and i love the crazyhouse community here.
Keep it up.
Fixed position for pieces in hand might solve this and would help to make moves accurately even when playing fast.
#1 Yeah. Its quite annoying when you have seconds and want to drop a piece but you don't know where is that in your stock in that moment because the places are always changing.
Glad to hear i'm not the only one.

Not that i want to surcharge the devellopers who already made such an incredible work, but i'd like to suggest an idea.

5 squares with queen, rook etc, with a flashy number like now and a dimmed, greyed place when there is none.
I'd love that, and obviously ain't the only one.
It's not exactly premoves though, it's more hovering your piece over the square only to drop it when the opponent moves.

"I hate when stuff is moving around..."
I second that, i have kids too.
