[2.0.8] Power poles fail to connect

Placing small power poles in what i feel like is a fairly common smelter array, copying and then placing them next to each other causes a few odd power connections. removing duplicate poles breaks the expected straight line connection, and it's not immediately apparent what is causing the break-maybe i'm just blind, but it took me around 5 minutes to figure out it was breaking here and not further down the line.

simply removing and placing a new pole is not enough to trigger new lines to be redrawn, but instead both of the wayward connections must be removed for a new straight line to be drawn.

i'm aware blueprints save power pole connections. it not redrawing when real poles are placed and the pole is removed and replaced is the part that got me.
i'm also aware that a simple solution is to simply build some of the other power poles or to manually draw the lines with wire, but again, finding the break in power was the part that confused me.
