Bug: Difference in action between physical and schematic #18

Thank you for the wonderful simulator!

In the following set-up, the action of the physical simulator is correct (starter blue ball ends in middle interceptor), but in schematic mode, the first blue ball falls between ramps to end up in the left-most interceptor. Second blue ball seems to find the correct path!

Starting with red ball in either mode seems to work, it's isolated to starting with the blue ball in schematic mode.

Similar issue (so I hope I'm just offering an additional test case, not confusing matters by adding to this issue if it happens to have a different root cause). The simple machine shown here alternates colors two by two. It works as intended in physical simulator, but if one starts with the blue turnstile in schematic mode, the last blue ball (regardless of number, btw) comes out of the crossover in the wrong direction, so drops to the blue side and fails to release a red ball. As with OP, starting with the red turnstile doesn't manifest the problem.
