[OPEN] [GTW] Books marked for sale being read by customers/owner

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Español
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? n/a
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get to Work, City Living, Outdoor Retreat, Spa Day, Vampires
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a sim write a few books in the computer. Put them on the floor from your inventory, make a few copies of each one, put them all in your inventory. Publish the original books using the mailbox. Create a retail in an empty lot, put some shelves from the "retail objects" menu in purchase mode and anything else needed. Make your sim buy the lot, and when he's there, drag and drop the books from his inventory to the shelves, and then mark them as "for sale". Open the store, and wait for the customers to arrive.
What happens when the bug occurs? 1) Customers would take books marked as "for sale" from the shelves, read them for a while, and then just drop them anywhere on the floor. The books remain as "for sale", just scattered around. 2) When it's the owner of the shop who takes a book marked as "for sale" from a shelf, after reading it he puts it IN HIS INVENTORY, and when you drag and drop it back to the shelf, it is NOT marked as "for sale".
What do you expect to see? I expect customers (and the owner of the business) NOT to touch books marked as "for sale", as they wouldn't touch any other object marked as "for sale" in a retail lot.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

Here are some images for you to have an idea of what I'm talking about.

Here, the owner of the shop reading a book marked as "for sale":

After reading the book, the owner of the shop puts it in his inventory, and now it's NOT marked as "for sale" anymore:
