Before 0.16 it was possible to interact with some things, like inserters, chests, assemblers, etc that were within your reach distance while zoomed in on map view. As of 0.16 I haven't been able to make it work. The only interaction possible is opening the electric window.

I'm betting this is a feature not a bug, but wanted to report it in case it actually was intended functionality that just got lost.

Hi, yes, that is intended. Basically the map mode should not be used to play the game.
