Fence Gate shift clicking

When you use Shift + right click key with fence gate on fences it faced sideways, although it still acts as a normal fence gate and can be walked through.

What I expected to happen was...:
The fence gate is connected to both side of the fence

What actually happened was...:
the fence gate faced other side

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Stand and point at 1 side of the fence
2. Hold Shift while right clicking with a fence gate
