[Bug] Weirdness with Oleum, and perhaps other reversible reactions

When inserting sulfur trioxide and sulfuric acid in a sealed vat with no water, no oleum is formed no matter how much SO3 and H2SO4 i put in. Even after heating the vat to 1000K in case the reaction was just too slow, nothing happened. Inserting oleum into that vat however instantly fully converted it to SO3 and H2SO4. Note that the sulfur trioxide has to be inserted first. Inserting just sulfuric acid will cause part of it to seperate into SO3 and H2O, the trace amounts of H2O will then immediately ionize all the sulfuric acid (I'll make a different issue for this problem) Trying with a different heated and sealed vat, I first inserted oleum, and in this case it did not get instantly converted even though the conditions were the same. It did create a tiny amount of water though.
@TheRedCrafter344 I get oleum from 1 test tube of sulfuric acid and 1 test tube of sulfur trioxide in an unheated 1x1 glass Vat. Some other changes to how Vats work might have fixed this too, so if that exact setup doesn't give you any oleum I'll know it got fixed. I don't want to insult your intelligence, but make sure you weren't using sulfur dioxide, too.
It was probably fixed then since I just tested that exact setup and it didn't really give me any oleum. I did get 0.00000 moles of oleum when I inserted the sulfuric acid before the sulfur trioxide, and absolutely nothing happened when I inserted the acid after the trioxide.
