Hi,
technically this is not a Bug, but it is very inconvenient that Factorio forces me to create a junction that would mix fluids. I can not build a parralel tube. Rotation does not help.
All the best

Re: Forced to mix fluids
In some particular case you can use a pump or underground pipes back to back, it can act as a straight pipes that doesn't connect on the sides.
Before the "fluid-mixing-prevention" the game would have allowed you to place the pipe, but it would have connected the 2 fluids , water and heavy oil, which when unintentionnal was problematic for many players because you had to cleanse everything when it occured.
Now the game doesn't even allow you to place the pipes "for safety". (or at least is trying hard to prevent players from doing so =>https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-312
)
The option of parallel pipes you describe however can be found using this mod https://mods.factorio.com/mod/PickerPipeTools
