The priority system allowed people to use the doors despite being blocked off. A fix was put in place to prevent the interaction of objects that are blocked by other furnishings. Since the books are technically "inside" the bookcase, the interaction is disabled. There is kind of like an invisible wall on the front of the bookcase, blocking interaction. Like when you buy something and it's in a box with a clear plastic window on the front. You can see what's inside but you can't touch it unless you take it out of the box.

Ah rip... that's no fun! In which case they should probably fix the green outlines when you place objects... or maybe change the way the bookcase collision works so it doesn't block shelves. I guess I'll just wait to see if anything changes. Kinda makes shelves pointless if we can't put all these lovely lorebooks on them!
