Bug Description

This is a snippet of my project. Pins 3 and 6 of U5 belong to the same net. However when you enable rats nest lines those don't have a line between them and when you run a DRC chech, there is nothing listed in the unconnected tab. I didn't catch it visually when routing the board, so this particular bug is going to cost me a pretty penny.
