When two gates are placed so that they are only diagonally touching, DROD reads the two separate gates as one single gate.

I think this is deliberate - note that there are many places in Dugan's where diagonal doors are avoided even though they would make perfect sense. For example:

I recently brought up the same "bug", and Mike reminded me that there are some yellow doors that depend on a diagonal link on level 12.

But is it really necessary? I mean, can't you just reprogram the rooms in level 12 to treat each diagonal door as a series of doors which are tied to the same orb?
