SPOILERS: The glass "item" puzzle

So it didn't take long for me to come to the conclusion that I needed to
use the molten glass with something to somehow make a glass eye for the guy in jail. But after completing the "leg" part of the trial, suddenly I lost almost all of my inventory, including the molten glass. Panicked, I looked on the forum and realized that you just ask the glass blower guy for a glass eye. Was there more than one way to solve this puzzle, or were they just trying to throw us for a loop? It just freaked me out when I suddenly lost ALL of my mugs (including the drink, molten lava, wax, oil, and grease). I realize I no longer needed the acid and the other thing I put on the leg (I forget... one of the others I just mentioned), but was surprised to see all the rest go away. Or were all those things available only to make me guess which combo to use on the leg lamp and therefore no longer needed after solving the leg puzzle?

Without giving anything away (please), is it normal to lose all that stuff, or do I need it later on? If that's the case, then I need to go back to a saved game and try to avoid whatever happened. We stopped last night just when
the Voodoo Lady was thrown in jail
so I haven't gotten past that point yet.

    You don't need ANY of the mugs after the Voodoo Lady is in jail.

    That's a relief, thanks! My jaw just dropped when I saw all that stuff was gone!

    It's a Telltale game. They won't let you progress without items you need.

    Yeah I know that, but having read about the bug that can get you
    stuck in jail with LeChuck
    , I was thinking that is may have been a bug.

    It doesn't help that just prior to this happening, I had tried to reproduce that bug just for fun (which didn't happen... I think I needed to wait a while) and having done that combined with the missing stuff got me scared that I shot myself in the foot, so to speak. :)

    you know that you could come across a bug in several Wallace & Grommit episodes where you had the wrong inventory and had to restart the game because the items needed were in the other inventory....

    Really? The only such bug I knew about was with the cheese in Episode 1.

    Ah, I rescind my statement, then. The idea that it might be a bug didn't really cross my mind. :o
