What did you do?
Built this blueprint https://gist.github.com/stevetrov/7365f ... cbd3bba28a
to test something out.

What happened?
The stack inserter doesn't wait until it has a full stack before swinging.

What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
I expected it to wait for a full stack of items and possibly get stuck.

Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
This happens consistently. In previous versions the inserter would get stuck.

The behavior had been changed to force a drop of the hand whenever the (changed) filter forbids the stack inserter from holding the item.

It would only be a bug if the inserter did drop it's hand even though the filter still permits it.

That used to be broken in a way that only enabling/disabling the inserter would cause re-evaluation of the filter. But dropping on filter mismatch was expected from the start.

Not a bug. Decision was that when stack inserter holds items that are not allowed by the filters it is better to drop whatever it has rather than remaining in a stuck state.

Thats handy - so I can cancel the filter to force it to drop everything - like when changing recipes?
