How many knew about this mechanic in FF7?

Title sounds a little click-baity, but there's apparently been a lot of confusion about what happens to new-born materia with full inventories.

Covarr:
Is this a deliberate mechanic? This seems more like a bug.

DLPB_:
Yeah.  I agree, Covarr.  If the inventory is full... nothing should be added.

nfitc1:
It's absolutely deliberate. Toward the bottom of the "new materia born" function contains the code to do this.

What ticks me off is there's no indication that this is happening and this mechanic went virtually unknown for fifteen years! I can find no mention of it on GFAQs, the French ff7 page (admittedly I can't read French), FFwiki, etc. I actually posted a vaguely worded message relating to this a while back but didn't explain what I meant. The game should have you choose what to do with the new materia rather than just dump existing inventory. If you're grinding for a Master Magic this can really screw you over since Fire, Ice, etc. are so low on the priority list.
