I love the feature of being able to drag the belt through the splitter and the splitter stays there untouched. it's one of the best features in the game honestly yo build fast and Works as it should (shown in the video)

Where this breaks is with ghosted belts. If there is a splitter already placed and through it are ghosts of belts, for some reason the belts after the splitter don't get placed.

I expected the result of belt draggin with or without the ghosts to be the same but for some reason that doesn't happen. Thank you for your time in advance

Note that when dragging over the splitter the game pops up the 'Too far to connect' message before starting to place belts again.

This doesn't occur when turning off Smart belt building in the options, it all places normally.
