This is not due to the recent CvPcb changes. This has always been the
case. The only time the footprint gets changed on a netlist import is
when the FPID of the footprint has changed and the exchange footprint
option is selected in the netlist import dialog. If you modify a
footprint and do not change the FPID, you must open the "Footprint
Properites" dialog, click the "Change Footprint(s)" button, select
"Change Footprint" option in the "Exchange Footprints" dialog, and click
OK. This will reload the modified footprint from the same FPID.
