I feel the character is "special" and should be drawn over everything else (or at least, the picture should align with entity graphic in layer). I guess since it's an entity the alt-view pic is drawn over it?

There have been a few similar reports before, typically with the rocket. However, I don't think it's anything specific to the rocket, just that it's likely more noticeable there.

Hello, alt-mode is an overlay point of which is to not be occluded by objects, so strictly speaking, this is not a bug.

That said, at some point of the flight, rocket is switched to higher layer and starts occluding even the alt-mode icons, and it would probably be more estetically pleasant if that happened earlier + if you build inserters at top (instead of bottom) their arms would be drawn over the rocket, which looks much worse.

Ah, thanks. This can be moved to "not a bug" then I suppose.
