Automation build order not allowed

It seems that when there's an automation bridge either built or "clicked", I am not able to click an and-gate or an or-gate in a manner that the bridge jumps over the output or one of the inputs.

On the other hand, when the and/or-gate is built first or clicked first, I am able to build an automation bridge over the input or the output of the and/or-gate.

So, if you start off this way, click down a bridge:

Then try and click down an and gate, it will not allow you:

On the other hand, when you click down the gate first, you can add the bridge no problem:

Here's an example of a similar buit executed hundreds of cycles ago, with an or-gate (I guess it must have been gate first, bridge second, because I have not noticed before that an automation bridge would not be able to jump over the and- or and or-gate):

Please let us continue building bridges over gates, it helps keep the automation small and neat
