Popups showing the lengh of the trace remain on screen

[Michal Vanco]

Hi,

Today I noticed that while doing length matching of traces, those popups showing the length of the trace remain on screen even after the whole process of length matching is done (after clicking the left mouse button). Those popups (white rectangle in the middle of the window on screenshot) remain on screen even after pcbnew is closed. The only way to get rid of them is to quit KiCad completely.

@Michal, does this still happen for you? If so, is it repeatable, or are there certain steps you need to do to make it happen?

I can't reproduce it in:

Cool. Thanks for following up, Michal.
