Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:

1. open Footprint editor
2. open a footprint
3. open footprint properties -> Local Clearance and Settings
4. Change "Pad connection to zones" to something else (Solid, Thermal relief)
5. press ok
6. goto step 3, and see the pad connection has reset to "Use zone setting"

Seems to happen on both Pre 5.1.2 and Nightly

Setting to "high" as the only work-around is to edit the footprint in a text editor.

Thanks Jeff!

Out of curiosity, would you know how long time this has been non functioning?

Believe it or not, it has never worked. Before 5.0 the control was missing from the dialog; since then it's been there, but not hooked up.
