[0.17.1] Fast replacing inserters doesn't work

A red long handed inserter can't be placed over a yellow inserter. This works for blue fast inserters. Is this intentional because the long handed one has different reach?

I believe this is intended, to avoid accidently breaking sections when fast replacing a line from yellow to blue. Before you had to keep letting go and skip over red inserters, while now you can just pan over them.
Thats my guess anyway.

I really hope this is a bug. The situation where I'm trying to swap normal inserters for red is way more common than accidentally replacing my red inserters while upgrading from yellow to blue, especially given that Upgrade Planner is vanilla now.

What kind of situation would you want to do this in?

When I'm building things and I decide I want to use a red inserter where I just put a blue/yellow, or vice versa.

Wait, wasn't that already the case in 0.16 ?
