Bug Description
Testing Select Copper Connection, reveals an operational blind spot/quirk.
It works fine across Vias, and selects many traces and pads.
It also works fine across pads, _provided_ the layer does not change at that pad.
In all the above cases, it works just like a Multimeter would show copper connection.
*but* if a layer change occurs at the PAD, Select Copper Connection fails to carry over.
I think PADS should behave just like vias, and just like a meter would.
ie A layer change at a plated pad, is surely a Copper Connection ?
