Bug Description

If there are two or more pads belonging to the same net and no tracks are connecting these pads, ratsnest lines are displayed in order to indicate the connection.

Now, if there are more than two pads of the same net and two pads are connected with the routing tool all remaining ratsnest lines for this net disappear. The lines re-appear when the 'B' is pressed.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the pic_programmer demo.
2. Move cursor over the 'VCC' track connecting 'U3' and 'C1' and press 'I' followed by 'DEL'.
   --> no ratsnest lines appear
3. Press 'B' --> ratsnest lines appear for net 'VCC'
4. Route a track from 'U3' pad 3 to 'C1' pad 1. --> Remaining ratsnest lines disappear.

git bisect came up with commit 4c37defd3 for this issue.
