I cannot duplicate this bug in either the legacy or opengl canvases. I
opened your control_board.kicad_pcb and then appended
monster_mkii_nutzen.kicad_pcb, power_bridge.kicad_pcb, and
signal_distribution.kicad_pcb in that order without any issues other
than it being really slow redrawing in the legacy canvas.
