Fast replaced medium power poles don't connect

Step 1: Start like this, with 2 small power poles that don't. Step 2: Fast replace both of them with medium power poles. For some reason, they don't connect. Step 3: Mine one of them, then re place it. Now they connect!

I have attempted to replicate this in other locations, but it doesn't work. However, I have replicated it nearly half-dozen times with those 2 power poles. I suspect it has something to do with the connections with the other power poles.

Thanks for the report however this is working as intended: fast-replacing power poles preserves the wire connections so it doesn't mess up wires you may have specifically setup (such as for power switches).
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

This could be added as a toggle option. For me, this is quite annoying too
