DRC: Unconnected Pads Not Displayed

[fluffyfrog]

DRC does not display Unconnected pads in the corresponding window (where the list should be displayed). Happens since I upgraded from 6658 to 6775

When exporting to a file, the unconnected pads are listed in the report. The number of unconnected pads shown in the bottom line of the main pcbnew window is also correct.

Seems to be a diplay issue...

so they are not in the unconnected tab?

[fluffyfrog (frotteefrosch)]

correct. the unconnected tab is grey

It works fine with ver 6783 on Win7. Issue can be Mac specific.

[fluffyfrog (frotteefrosch)]

These display things tend to be, I guess.

[fluffyfrog (frotteefrosch)]

It's gotten worse in 4.0.3 rc8.

The dialogue now creates a .rpt regardless whether the "create report" box is checked or not. The unconnected pads list is still invisible.

[Novak Tamas (novak-7)]

Don't blame OSX. Report file has been created even on Win7 while "create report file" is unchecked.
Update: it is corrected in nightly 7005...worked bad at abt 6970 versions.

(It's not the original report, but report creation bug from #5. Displaying unconnected is fine in Win7)

[fluffyfrog (frotteefrosch)]

Original issue still exists in 4.0.4

[fluffyfrog (frotteefrosch)]

Original issue still exists in 4.0.7

[Nick Østergaard (nickoe)]

Does it work on nightly?

It works, but in a weird way:
It actually works the same way in 4.0.7

1) open DRC control
2) press 'Start DRC'
3) under rider 'Problems/Markers' conflicts appear
4) press rider 'Unconnected' -> display window turns grey
5) press button 'List Unconnected' -> all messages in 'Messages' and 'Problems/Markers' window disappear, 'Unconnected' stays grey
6) close DRC Control

7) open DRC control
8) press 'Start DRC'
9) under rider 'Problems/Markers' conflicts appear
10) press button 'List Unconnected'-> unconnected pads are shown under rider 'Unconnected' all messages in 'Messages' and 'Problems/Markers' window disappear, 'Problems/Markers' now stays grey

It is clearly a OSX specific issue.
However your nightly version is rather old.

Same thing.

[Jeff Young (jeyjey)]

Still in master.
