Bug Description

1. Place a via on track intersection. It leaves a zero-length track.
2. Drag or shove the via. The zero-length track is stationary and can interfere with other objects on board.

If a via is placed in the middle of a track, the track splits and the zero-length track doesn't get created. It shouldn't be created on track intersections too.

Should this be fixed for 5.1? It seems to me like it should.
