Trouble grouping candles

Description of Bug: Putting three candles down inside a locked burrow doesn't group or lock them. You can lock just one candle, but it prevents locking the other two. Clearing the tile of other objects beforehand also doesn't allow locking more than one candle
Reproduction Steps:

Have three candles in inventory
Lock burrow
Place three candles on one tile
They are placed, unlocked.
Right click the group of candles and click 'lock'
The candles separate into two stacks; one lone locked candle and two other candles which display as candles (2) on hover.
Right click the unlocked candles and click 'lock'
Receive 'You can't nail that down there'

Not a bug. That is not the intended way to group candles.

You can't lock furniture items on top of other furniture items. This applies to anything that can be locked down.
As a result, placing a stack of furniture items won't lock them, so this is expected behavior.
You are supposed to place one candle down, lock it, and then drag the remaining candles onto it to add them to create a single three-candle item.

We realize this is somewhat awkward and excludes Nomad characters, but we don't have a better solution for it right now (maybe we could use the prep table or something?) because you can't drag the same item onto itself in the inventory.
