What did you do?
N/A
What happened?
Circuit wires are drawn over the Roboport antenna (spinning thing).
What did you expect to happen instead?
Circuit wires would be drawn under the Roboport antenna and over its body, since the antenna is higher than the body and is elevated enough to partially cover the tile above.
How often does it happen?
Every time circuit wires intersect with the antenna of the Roboport graphic.
Thoughts
Not shown, but I also tested copper cables with the Substation and the Power Switch. It seems like all wires are drawn above the antenna. This looks appropriate for copper cable and circuit wire connections between the power poles, but not for connections to and between lower objects. Wires between power poles and lower objects may be particularly tricky to get right if power pole connection points don't also have elevation data.

Thanks for the report however I don't believe we will be changing this. Factorio being a 2D game trying to fake 3D with different layers ends up with these kinds of issues and virtually every time we poke at one for some edge-case like this it breaks other more serious things. That combined with no tests for any of this (it's rendering) means it's just not worth trying to weak stuff like this.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
