Can't connect Two Electrical Grid

As you can see in the first attachement i was building a furnace line and even if the electrical pole are connected only a portion of the grid recognize the network connection.

In the second attachement you can see that the newtork has more than enough power to satisfy the requiremensts.
In the third attachement you can see that the lower poles doesn't recognize the upper network.

How did I reach this situation?

- I pasted a blueprint just to see the footprint of the line. No Logistic yet discovered at this point of the game
- I manually placed all the components
- I connected the network of the furnace line to the main network and there i see that the :warning: icons weren't disappearing.
- I tried to deleted some poles and replace them and the first half of the line susccessfully merged the power networks but the lower part still remained unpowered

I attached also the game save so you can see directly with your eyes the problem. You will spawn directly where the issue is occourring. Also you will have in the clipboard the the bluprint that triggered this problem.

Personally i think that there might be a problem with a proper ghost replacements, but who knows...

You have a lot of Medium Electrical Poles in this setup - 2 every 2 tiles, which is far less than their Wire Reach of 9 tiles. Placing this blueprint adjacent itself exhausts the 5 Automatic Connections that Electrical poles will make. The next placement therefore creates an independent electrical network (with no Generators attached).

It is possible to manually create >5 connections since Version 2.0.7 using the Copper Cable tool (Alt+C).

Placing the poles in your design every 6 tiles yields a fully connected Electric Network, without excess inter-pole connections.
