Inserter didn't place even though preview was rendered on there:

There's a small but non-zero chance that the game didn't tick during the frame that was rendered and by the time it did he had already moved the mouse to a position that wasn't valid to build at.

I see, didn't think of the rendering and the update not being synchronized.

@Loewchen this is a bit different from the related bug, since here the preview was already rendered, but still not placed.

Can you find some way to reliably reproduce the problem?

If its a 1 in a million error, not much we can do to fix it

Sure, i can reproduce it in 1 of 2 cases. But as said it probably is just too fast mouse movement again.
