[0.12.35] Inserter places items on different spots

Hello,

I tried to make a full compressed belt with inserters. During the processes I noticed inserter which do start at the same tick (with circuits) can place the item at different spots on the belt:

Before dropping: both insteres are in the same state (totally black in the diff)
state tick before dropping the item
state tick before dropping the item

On drop: the item is on different positions on the belt (the item is outlined in the diff)
state on dropping the item
state on dropping the item

Is this intended behavior?

Thanks,
Gerhard

Thanks for the report,

There must be some other factor at play, because in my tests, inserters that start at the same time, all output at the same place on the best:

Could be related to the fact that the distance of items between belts is smaller than on the belt. I measured on a full compressed, still standing belt with zoom factor 16.

Some inserter behaviour was changed in 0.13, and i can't reproduce the issue, so i will assume it is fixed in 0.13
