Observed result: Fast inserter stops inserting items in a cargo wagon that has set inventory filters and an inventory limit even though the stack of said item is not filled.
Expected result: Inserter keeps going til the stack is filled up.

Details:

I have a fast inserter that takes items from a requester chest and puts them into a cargo wagon like this

The inventory of the cargo wagon has the following filters and limits

The requester chest does have items, in this example it has a bunch of gates in it and the gate slot in the cargo wagon is not full as seen in the previous picture

I can get it to move things again if I remove the red limitation of the inventory and set it back again but it may stop on another slot with the same symptoms when doing that.

this is no bug!
if you want to insert different items with only 1 inserter into cargowaggon you need to limit the inserter to stacksize 1
else it can be that he has 3 items in hand and only 2 left space in waggon - 1 is to mutch and that will be in the inserter until somone makes more space in the waggon.

solution - better add more boxes with different items and up to 12 inserter per waggon.

Oh right, I didn't realize that but that makes perfect sense.
I don't know how to mark my post as no-bug or resolved though, or should I just remove it?

Thanks
