What did you do? What happened?

- Place ghosts in space to trigger a request by "Auto request missing construction materials"
- Knowing which items I need, fill a rocket, that is not in automatic mode, with the same item
- This rocket (which is in manual mode) gets automatically launched (I expect this behaviour here)
- Request is now fulfilled but space platform continues requesting this item.

What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!

Not requesting more items by "Auto request missing construction materials" since all ghosts are already built.

Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?

Happened once, but had this scenario only once yet.

Post the save and add the version to the title please, see 3638.

This is not a bug. Conclusio-edit at the end.

It took me long to reproduce, but now I have it (and updated report to include savefile + version):

- place some space tile ghosts
- place inserters on these space platform tile ghosts
- make sure the amount of inserters ghosts is larger than available in the hub
- make sure you don't have enough space platform foundations to build the tiles below the inserters
- fill inserters into a rocket in manual mode
- rocket gets automatically launched
- now you have fulfilled request, which is fulfilled but not cleared.

Further testing of me:
- while having this fulfilled-but-cleared request shown in the logistics tab, fill a rocket in manual mode with inserters
- this rocket does not get sent to space.

- now remove the inserters and place space platform foundations into the rocket
- this rocket gets automatically launched
- platform gets extended and inserters built
- fulfilled-but-not-cleared requests disapper

So it seems to be more a graphical bug for me, or some intended but hard to understand behaviour.

Edit: this number would usually denote how many items are missing that were not transported to space yet, but in this case, it displays the amount of items that got already transported to space but not built yet.

So I would say this is intended behaviour, but took a hour of testing to understand what this should mean.
