Bug Description
When routing differential pairs, the geometry set in the Setup->Differential Pairs menu is used instead of the values specified in Setup->Design rules. So if you have correctly specified the geometry in the design rules and added the nets of the differential pair to the correct net class, the project-global values from the differential pair dimensions dialog are used instead, which possibly results in boards not working as expected, since the impedance of the differential pairs might be way off the intended one.
I'd suggest to entirely remove the differential pair dimensions dialog and use the differential pair geometry from the net classes dialog.
