GAL ghost and missing ratsnest lines

[Piotr Esden-Tempski]

This bug might be related to #1341714 but it is not exactly the same thing.

Missing lines:
After I finished routing of the board in P&S GAL mode some ground plane ratsnest lines were missing. I resolved it by switching into default that was showing which pads were disconnected on the ground plane and then switching back to GAL to route those lines. After routing the "Unconnected" counter was not decreased until I switched back to default.

Ghost lines:
After getting the "Unconnected" counter to 0 the GAL mode is still showing a few "ghost" lines. They are obviously connected on the copper layer. I could not find any way to get rid of them. I have tried reloading the board, rerouting the trace and switching modes. The ghost lines persist. They are only visible in the GAL modes.

Attached are screenshots of the ghost lines with the polygon pours set to visible and transparent, to show the traces within the polygons.

If needed I can provide the file with these errors privately. :)

What version of kicad are you using?

[Piotr Esden-Tempski (esden)]

I use:
- 5642 on Ubuntu
- 5645 on Mac OS X

Both exhibit the same behavior and the additional air wires are visible on both.

Hi Piotr,

The problem should be fixed in 5707, could you verify it?

Thank you in advance,
Orson

Hi Orson,

Yes the additional air wires seem to be gone now. Thanks!!!

I do not have a good way for testing the missing air wires at this moment in time. :)

Cheers,
Piotr
