When placing a new inserter, the game highlights the tile that the inserter takes from, but does not highlight the tile that it pushes to. Placed inserters highlight both when hovered over.
Both tiles should be highlighted when placing a new inserter.

[Koub] Not really a bug, moved to Ideas and Suggestions (unless the devs think otherwise).

Also, I don't have pictures, but when building rail stations, the inserter highlights the box it picks up from, as well as the train station highlighting the space the wagon occupies. This wouldn't be an issue, however, the boxes do not line up with each other, so it ends up with 2 offset boxes being shown.

As of 0.17.8, this seems to have been fixed!
Thank you devs! This was surprisingly bothersome for me.

Well that was an open and shut case. Seems like a nice QOL for custom inserter mods.
