I was viewing Yoshi at his twitch channel Y0sh1TV and they had problems with placeing signals at the end of a curve
https://clips.twitch.tv/ShinyFunPistachioPJSalt

same parts of the railway was placed with blueprints - maybe there is somthing wrong with signal positions after placeing the blueprint.

I rebuild it on my own map - and found the error.

1. build this setting as 2 way connection without signals
2. place the right bottom signal on the right place out of the 3 possible
3. the signal at the curve exit is blocked now without any reason.

the hole bug has to do with one way signals that are comming together in a two waysignal section of the track.

Can you please provide a save file that shows the problem?

I will make a blueprint tomorrow that simply shows the bug/problem
and add it here

in V1 and V2 you have 3 signal positions on the straight railsegment
on V3 you have only 2 positions - but if you place it on the third position from the other 2 with constrution mode the signal works perfectly
the bug is that on rails with different direction signals the third signal position is missing to place the signal.

I've searched but didn't find anything discribing the strange behaviour I encountered.

I was playing with T-junctions and signals, made a T-junction that I like (and works).
When I remake the T-junction I couldn't place the signals like the first one, until I place a signal 2 steps before the one I want to place.

It's hard to explain, so I made some screenshots describing the behaviour.
Merged...

Thanks, fixed for 0.16.37
