Bug Description
After the new GAL canvas in eeschema the crosshair that appeared on top of a part when cross-probing from pcbnew to eeschema is gone. eeschema do center properly over the part, so this but is not about the same as described in https:/
How to:
1. open a project which has a matching schematic and board file (you may like to zoom far in in eeschema)
2. click a footprint in pcbnew
3. observe that you no form of marking is used in pcbnew to highlight a selected footprint
Expected:
With the legacy canvas a small crosshair would appear on the center of the symbol in eeschema. I would like to see this feature or a similar implementation back in eeschema gal.
As we got the gal canvas, maybe it is better draw an opaque box around the symbol, sort of similar to what is done with InteractiveHtmlBom, see https:/
