[2.0.11] Belt not replaced when using an underground belt when interacting with ghosted belts

What did you do? - placed a smelter blueprint on top of the already existing coal belt and then placed the underground going up.
What happened? - the coal belt going north did not get "picked up" by the underground.
What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway! - i expected the ug to "pick up" the leftover belts
Does it happen always, once, or sometimes? - it happens always as far as i can tell. i tested it in multiple directions and placing orders, be it first the ghosted belt and then the belt dragged to then place the ug.

FWIW, this still happens in 2.0.24. Probably not a bug. The underground-replacement logic probably thinks that you intend the ghost belt to side-load the belts that remain in between the new underground belts, since it doesn't know the order the belt and ghost were built in.
If you had super-force-built the smelter blueprint, it would have put undergrounds in the coal belt and placed the horizontal ghost belts across it.

I am not considering this to be a bug. Underground belts remove belts only when those belts in between are "simple" that is: they have the same direction as the underground and there are no incoming side connections. Since you have incoming side connections, those belts in between are not a candidates for removal.
