Auto-Underground Belt Bug?

[Silvador]

Has anyone else encountered an issue where their automatically placed underground belts only half lay? I've found, recently, that when running a line of belt across another, only the first underground belt will place, leaving the second one in my inventory, before continuing the line of normal belts as normal. I have no idea why this is happening and it has forced me to resort back to manually laying underground belts.

Did something break in a recent update? Is something else causing this? It doesn't seem to happen when laying out ghosts, and the speed at which I lay the belts doesn't seem to make a difference, either. It's as though that second underground belt just isn't registering that it needs to be placed.

That can happen if the far end of the underground belt is out of your reach when you attempt to place it. May be a bug may not. It works the way you expect if you are dragging it as a ghost and let your bots build it.

Except that I have no bots and it happens when I'm standing right next to it.

If I'm out of range, I wouldn't be able to continue placing the rest of the belt. It's literally skipping that one (second) underground belt while continuing to place everything else as normal.

It does, indeed, look like a bug to me. All the previously known conditions where the 2nd underground is not placed are missing. The belt dragging logic is marvelous, and marvelous complex. A 'bug' is easy to overlook in all the cases which can happen.
