Pipette tool makes error sound when you already have the item in your cursor, and use it again on a ghost or existing entity of the same type, and you only have a single stack of the item in your inventory. The sound doesn't occur as soon as you have a 2nd stack worth of whatever item you are trying to pipette. I use the pipette tool a lot to update the direction of the inserter to match the ghost on the ground and so I keep hearing the error sound over and over.

Solution for now is to keep at least more than 1 stack of that inserter in my inventory. It's not limited to inserters, happens with belts and anything else.

I have the item in my hand (only one stack) and pressing the pipette tool to change direction of my inserters and everything works fine. Do you have the map of your problem maybe ?

Fixed in Version: 0.17.9
Thanks.
