Comment 6 for bug 1462929

I also ran into this bug today. When I also tried to change the pad clearance in an attempt to debug (which rebuilds this router data model and thus applies the new design rules clearance setting) things really behaved weirdly (though perfectly expected according to what I've learned from this bug report). Took me a while to figure out what was going on, and once I did I could find this report :-)

Wouldn't it be possible to just reload this data model whenever the design rules are changed? Or drop out of router mode if the design rules menu is opened? I'm not familiar with the codebase, so I'm not sure how elegant or ugly something like that would be, though.
