b ED tries to distribute to locked or full chests and assemblers

Hi
I'm using the Ctrl + left click Drag feature. When I'm dragging over chests that have all slots locked (you know, the red slots), ED tries to fill those anyway. Happens also with Assemblers and even beacons (unless they are explicitly ignored in the character advanced settings. As a consequence, ED calculates the remaining amount for the open chests wrongly. E.g. if I'm having 3 chests, but 2 of them are locked or full, then the 3rd chest gets only a third anyway instead of max possible amount.

This is only the case with Factorio 1.1, in 1.0 this worked just fine.
Is there perhaps a setting that I'm missing?

Actually, forget almost everything.
I just tried again and the key solution is to add buildings to the ignore list, as well as setting "Balance out inventories"

It still shows the blue selection square over the full or locked chests though, but I can live with that, even though it's confusing.
If you want, you can close this thread.
