I was going to make a couple small runs of candles today, and got the stuff together. The first change was that the candle was not "lit" in the schematic selection screen.
So I made one to test it. Finished crafting it, and it appeared like normal, but was not lit in my inventory, and when examined from my inventory, was not lit.
So I dropped it, and upon hitting the ground, it lit up. I examined it, and saw the timer click down from 15 days to 14d11h56s, like normal.
So I picked it back up again, and it went out, but now the candle image is invisible, both in the inventory and if you examine it from in your inventory. The timer stops, as it should.
Re-opening the inventory does not fix it, and neither does changing the "view" back and forth.
Only tried the Coronet, but all of them no longer are lit in the selection screen in the crafting tool.

Actually I think it was publish 11 (or possibly 10) that messed them up. It actually did a lot of crazy things with the inventory window.
"Lit" candles don't appear lit but are the proper size to allow for the glow sprite that should be there.
"Burnt out" candles don't have the sprite so they appear larger than a lit candle in your inventory.
It's the same way for lamps but I don't think there's a size variation.
It also makes it really hard to tell whether you're crafting a regular lamp or one of the old variants that never lit up until you actually craft it and look at it because the glow doesn't show up in the crafting tool either. I usually end up picking the wrong one on the first try.
