Drill inventory flickering when near/at capacity
This screenshot shows the Bullfrog drill with the issue, but not the actual issue. I found and mined lead, since this is the first time that I have seen it. I mined until the ship said the inventory was full then docked the ship.
When I open the inventory, the drill's lead contents and red bar are flickering (existing then not existing). The ore text that should show 8.00t/8.00t is flickering between 8.00t/8.00t and 0kg/8.00t as well.
There was also an issue when I scrolled down in the inventory to view the second drill. The scrollbar won't scroll down anymore, and the cargo container and drill appear to be shown empty below the connector, but flicker back and forth with a full drill and something else.
I have recorded movies without audio on Windows to show the issue. They are also attached here.
When I unloaded the ore and emptied out the drill, the flickering stopped. There appears to be a second cargo container on the ship, but I don't know if it actually contained any items.
I have the same bug 
I also ran into this problem. Sometimes it also happens that I can't get the ore out of the drill because of this bug, it helps to re-enter the world.
Oh, and by the way, it's not just lead that does this. With iron too. I think this happens with all ores.

I had the same issue but I don't think it's solely based on the cargo capacity. I added some drills to the Sledge ship and had both the drills connected to each other and then to the cargo hold of the ship like this: [Drill>Conveyor>Drill>Conveyor>Cargo] Even when the cargo holds and drills are completely empty the drills would rapidly swap the contents of their inventories when they collected any ores. Suspecting a bug with the drills connected directly to one another I reconfigured the connections to this: [Drill>Conveyor>Cargo; Drill>Conveyor>Cargo] and the issue has since resolved itself. I don't know if the issue will return when the cargo starts to reach it max capacity but I think it's important to note this behavior as well.
