Bug Description

When placing a multi-unit component under eeschema (lets say a LM324) it would be nice to automatically select the next unit to place.

Say I place the unit A. When I go into the place component (hotkey A) I would like the selector to have the unit B selected. Instead, it's still on the unit A.

Best regard,
Julien FAUCHER
