Bug Description
I have a project which has 96 WS2813-mini LEDs on it in 9 rows. Since it is so repetitive, I created the first row then used either block copy/paste or block duplicate and trimmed off the unneeded LEDs in the rows as needed. The circuit is quite simple. My problem is that DRC reports pins as being unconnected even though they are connected. Redoing the wires doesn't fix it unless I add a new wire in a different location which usually fixes the problem. However, when one problem is fixed, a new random one pops up.
Additionally, when I go into the PCB editor, no parts are displayed for placing them onto the PCB even though all footprints have been assigned.
My project is at https:/

I am not seeing a ERC error saying a pin is unconnected.
It is the opposite: it says the pin is connected.
