[2.0.77] Ghost pipette sometimes picks up wrong icon, for e.g. acid neutralisation

Post by MondSemmel »

Context: I can use the Q pipette to pick up icons or objects to my cursor. E.g. I use Q on a chem plant, then get the chem plant attached to my cursor.

Bug: For some entities or recipes, using the Q pipette yields the wrong icon or entity.

Bug examples, non-exhaustive:
- Using the Q pipette on the acid neutralisation recipe gives me a ghost of steam, rather than acid neutralisation: https://i.imgur.com/QPi2Eef.png
- Similar issues with Factoripedia chem plant recipes: https://i.imgur.com/RvbG4rz.png -> Q on basic oil processing yields oil instead of basic oil processing, Q on simple coal liquefaction yields heavy oil.

Reproducibility: This always happens, consistently.

Thanks for the report however this is working as intended. Pipette of recipe always picks the primary result of the recipe.

Fair enough. I will note, though, that this current behavior is annoying specifically in the scenario of trying to add recipe icons to blueprint icons, titles, or descriptions. E.g. I probably noticed this behavior while trying to make an acid neutralisation blueprint.

Those input fields have the icon-picker if you want to pick specific icons.
