Inconsistent placing of nodes against chute/filter output end

[Watilin]

When you place a node against the output end of a chute or filter, the node might end up in an unexpected location depending on where exactly you were aiming.

case A

I'm aiming at the “ring” around the output end.

The node ends up in the expected position.

case B

I'm aiming directly at the output end

The node ends up one grid cell farther than expected.

Since i don’t know the details about node selection boxes yet, i have no idea if this issue is easy or hard to fix. Anyway, this is my report :)

This is because the shooting line's intersection point with the outlet nodebox lies in the adjacent air node. This behaviour does make sense for nodes of the size 1x1x2 (or similar) so that new nodes cannot be placed inside of it.
I believe this specific case needs addressing in the Minetest engine to add a certain tolerance for nodebox overlaps.
