Not sure if its a bug but when trying to click from one Filter Inserter to another the window wont close and selected the next Filter Inserter

not the best explanation but if i select one Filter Inserter and click say coal then without closing the window and selecting the next Filter Inserter the window wont close and pick the next Filter Inserter

I think I saw this same behavior when clicking on a storage tank.

It's the same behavior between any entities, not just filter inserters.

You can't click between different things like storage tanks, filter inserters, refineries etc.
How it is now you have to press escape (or walk out of distance) to close the window.

I agree it would be nice to be able to have it close the current interface and open new when clicking a new entity.

Essentially adding a close before open function on click to entity would resolve this, no?

That indeed is not a bug but how the GUI system currently works.

We may change it to work as described here but for now this isn't a bug.

Thanks for the quick reply
