What where you trying to do?
I had added an equipment grid to a locomotive, and was creating a test scenario to test out the new functionality.
In the map editor, I opened the train's inventory. It showed the equipment grid on the right, and the item list/menu on the left.

I proceeded to check that it correctly shows which categories of equipment I can and cannot insert. (It correctly highlighted / showed as dashed the items I could not insert.)

I then tried to add valid equipment to the train equipment grid.


What did you expect would happen?
That the equipment would be added to the train as when I am playing the game and do the same action.


What happened instead?
It doesn't actually place the item in the grid when telling it to. The equipment item simply remains in my cursor, unchanged, and nothing is placed into the grid.


Notes:
The vehicle type doesn't matter. I've done the same with cargo wagons, cars and tanks. All respond similarly.
All of them also work perfectly fine if I do it in game. (I.e. I added the items to a chest in the map editor, and then in game I can add them to the equipment grids with no problem.)

Please post the mod.

A lot of things don't currently work in the map editor GUI wise.

Blueprints, deconstruction, editing blueprints, the blueprint book, equipment grids and so on.

I'd like to make them all work but it's more complicated then just flipping a switch.

I assumed the map editor is a lower priority.
Figured I should report it anyway. Glad to know it is an already known bug.

Added support for equipment grids in the map editor for 0.15.
