Once i equipped the Crowbar i could not unequip it. Only by droping it and picking it up again.

We did have a Equip bug in the pre Alpha and was fixed for this release. It could be follow on from that, but until we get more information, so we can try and reproduce the bug, we can't go any further.

I think I may see what is causing confusion -- when you invoke the inventory screen, any item held in your hands is automatically 'holstered", and then automatically unholsters when you exit the inventory screen. So there is no way use the "unequip" button in the interface.

Typically this isn't an issue since the most common way to unequip an item is to press "H" (Holster), but I think the bug report is a valid usability issue.

One option is to not actually holster when inventory is invoked... which may be a good idea, since there is really no need to holster until you have to do something (like eat, drink, use an item, etc.). Then "Unequip" could be used on the inventory screen for items you are holding.

Holster to make it inactive just like with Flares, Lanterns, etc.

By design.
