the image shows a combinator set to produce a signal when molten copper > 20k. it shows that molten copper is at 25k, yet it does not produce a signal.
in the second image its shown that it will produce a signal when set to molten copper < 20k, despite molten copper being at 25k

this was solved. its not a bug, though i absolutely think a piece of ui that could be improved if symbols and names where more easy distinguishable.

I suspect it is the same issue as 118474.

I think you got the recipe and not the actual fluid. Make sure you're using the molten signals on the fluid tab.

I encountered this issue too. Maybe a way to differentiate the icons better?

This is an extremely bad feature, it is nearly impossible to differentiate between the Molten Iron recipe and Molten Iron the substance. Both are named "Molten iron" and there is no explicit indication that one is the recipe and one is the substance.

When compared side by side, there is a difference,

, but it's very easy to accidentally think that the recipe refers to the substance.
