Wire cannot be repaired with a different material

I don't think this is a bug, why would you think so? That's like saying "oh I ran out of water, lets use liquid oxygen"

Like if you could use steel to repair copper wires, is the wire now steel or copper and what happens to the copper left over?

Because you can wait forever untill you discover that they are not reparing the wires because you dont have copper anymore, and you have to rebuild your base just for the bug it doesnt take the next material that can be used for repair too, and you have your wires with multiple different materials everywhere. At least it can let you choose a different material, auto use the most common at your base or whatever solution different from do nothing.

It's a pain yes but not a bug, post in the suggestions forums.

On my understanding its a bug, let devs decide.

Not a bug. It's intended.
Post in the suggestions[2].

Yes that is intended and part of the micro-managing
