While using the map view, if the player selects a building to place and then presses the Blueprint hotkey to grab a blueprint to place instead, the ghost outline will update to show the blueprint as the preview on the cursor, but when they place the blueprint the original building will be placed instead. This only occurs when in the map view, if attempted while direct-controlling your character instead, having an actively selected building will block the ability to select a blueprint.

In addition to a log file I have attached an 8 second video showing the bug.

Thanks for your time

Tested and still can occur in 2.0.14

This sounds like an issue that was fixed in 2.0.16:
