[2.0.23] Cannot rotate rail to all directions

[sben]

Not sure if this bug or more a feature request...

When rotating a rail hold in hand, there are 8 orientations in that the rail can be rotated using [R].
But there are 16 orientations a rail can lie on the ground - 8 of them cannot be selected for placing directly.

This is not the case for the rail and rail chain signal, which can be rotated to all 16 orientations before beeing placed.

What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!

To be able to rotate to and place rails in all 16 orientations directly.

Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?

Always
