I attempted to change the side of the belt a inserter would place onto, while placed horizontally, facing a parallel moving belt. Instead of switching sides, the whole inserter rotated 180 degrees.
I checked to see if vertical inserters work properly and they do.
I repeated this 100% using four inserter types, also with each different tier belt.

Re: [2.1.17] Inserter switching does not work while horizontal.
This is not a bug. Inserters can not be told to drop on far/near lanes. Only when the drop position is ambiguous can you set left/right drop positions.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
