A blueprint won't actually place its ghosts unless the mouse is slightly nudged (and thus is registered as a "mouse drag" instead of "mouse click") when placing a blueprint in the zoomed in map view. Shift clicking from the zoomed in map view works normally. Placing blueprints outside of the zoomed in map view also work normally.

[Rseding91] [0.16.1] Can't place blueprint from map without mouse drag
Re: [0.16.1] Can't place blueprint from map without mouse drag
Thanks for the report. I can't reproduce what you describe. Can you go into the control settings and click the reset button and see if it still persists?
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
