In the footprint editor, I added a new pad (default shape) and then used the "Pads - Copy Pad Settings" on pad 4 to paste it on pad 5 using "Pads - Apply Pad Settings".
All drill/shape info were filled-in, but the "Local Clearance and Settings" (second tab in the pad properties) were not updated.
Bug or feature? :)
Please provide kicad_pcb file with the footprint in it.
