It's the same behavior between any entities, not just filter inserters.

You can't click between different things like storage tanks, filter inserters, refineries etc.
How it is now you have to press escape (or walk out of distance) to close the window.

I agree it would be nice to be able to have it close the current interface and open new when clicking a new entity.

Essentially adding a close before open function on click to entity would resolve this, no?

That indeed is not a bug but how the GUI system currently works.

We may change it to work as described here but for now this isn't a bug.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
