Bug Description
Kicad V5+.
Soldermask screen rendering should IMHO take the min solder mask width parameter to match what goes to the gerber files. Story of a confused user and more info here:

What is particularly interesting here is that the soldermask behaves as expected (confined to the footprint) until the minimum width gets to be at least the distance to the next footprint. At which point, there is interference. The user's example file shows this at about 57mm, but with closer footprint spacing, we would see this at more rational values as well.
