1. What did I do?

I copied storage chest with filter in it and tried to paste it onto existing logistic chests of each type.

2. What happened?

I was thrown the "object is in the way" notification error, unable to place copied storage chest.

3. What did I expect to happen instead?

I was expecting to get storage chest pasted onto existing logistic chests, just as it happens when I place a chest of one type over chest of another type with the pipette, with only difference being settings of an entity being copied when copying the entity with Ctrl+C.

4. Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?

Apparently it happens always. Also, it happens with assemblers and probably other similar buildings.

I've attached video demonstration below.

Not a bug. This is not a copy-settigs interaction (shift+right click to select source entity and shift+left click to paste settings). You are creating a blueprint and placing an entity on top of incompatible entity.
