Trying to connect two electrical poles using copper wire

[heckenfricken]

I keep left clicking the pole with the copper wire and it's opening the network info gui instead and the "left click to connect electric poles" tool-tip has been removed and I'm wondering if this mechanic as been removed?

check the buttons on the bottom right instead

Something to note is that shift clicking the poles, even without wire selected disconnects the poles, but I can't reconnect them. I am also playing with the water fill and even distribution mods but I don't think that would change anything

Are you using a copper-wire (obtained from shortcut bar or by Alt+C) or copper-cable (obtained from copper plate by crafting)?
