Description
Pandas version checks
-
I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
-
I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.
-
I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.
Reproducible Example
result = pd.DataFrame({"var": [1, 2]}, index=[1, 2])
rhs = pd.DataFrame({"var": [10, 11]}, index=[2, 3])
result.loc[:, "var"] = rhs
returns
var
1 10
2 11
This does not align, because it runs through the single_block_path, while non-matching dtypes do align
result = pd.DataFrame({"var": [1, 2]}, index=[1, 2])
rhs = pd.DataFrame({"var": ["a", "b"]}, index=[2, 3])
result.loc[:, "var"] = rhs
var
1 NaN
2 aIssue Description
Should be consistent
Expected Behavior
Both should align. First one should return
var
1 NaN
2 10.0
