problem with direction of doors (prison door or barrier door)

What exactly is happening?
When placing prison or barrier doors in construction mode, I cannot change the direction in which the doors open using the "A" or "E" keys, even though the instructions indicate this should be possible. As a result, doors placed one after another do not behave consistently—some open to the right, others to the left—regardless of placement direction. This creates accessibility issues in tight spaces (like 2-tile prison cells), sometimes forcing the player to close the door after entering in order to move further inside.

What were you doing before the issue occurred?
I was placing multiple doors in a prison layout using construction mode, trying to align their opening directions manually with "A" or "E".

When did the issue start?...
I noticed the issue recently, but I’m not sure if it started after a specific update. It seems like it has always been this way, or at least I’ve never seen the door direction change as expect
