Bug Description

In the attached kicad_pcb, attempting to start a new differential pair in the middle of the existing one produces this error:

https://misc.c4757p.com/unable_to_find.png

Quite a confusing error, given that both nets obvious exist. I'm not sure what the intended error is, though.

This happens in builds spanning about the last week or so at least, on both Linux and OSX.

Marking confirmed, seen by multiple people.

He he... that .png link now produces a 404 error, which I agree would be confusing for a differential pair routing error. ;)

@Chris, is this still an issue.

I tried the attached board and I get 'Unable to find complementary differential pair net. (...)', so I suppose that is what Chris reported.

Improved error messages for (a) no dangling anchor (trying to start in the middle) and (b) no matching anchor (trying to start where there is not anchor for the coupled net).
