Hello and thanks for taking the time to read my question.

In 0.15, with the help of long-reach, I was able to open chests in mapview (as long as you held something in your hand that could not be built (like ammo or a stack of gears for example) you could open the chest or manipulate circuit settings for inserters.
Since 0.16, I have not been able to do this anymore. Does anyone know of a way for me to enable this again? I have become used to it and am really missing it.

Thanks!

That was a bug with the base game and got fixed in 0.16.

That saddens me.
So there is no way to interact with chests and circuits anymore from the map view?

It is very disappointing that this is not even mod-able.

I love it when after hundreds of hours of gameplay, the game plays more like RTS, but running huge distances everywhere becomes quite painful.

Mods such as Long Reach lost a lot of value.
