Apart from the fact that the line is almost impossible to click on to edit, there do not appear to be any other issues, just that I can set it to whatever width I want, but any attempt to alter the line with the EDIT tab from the menu sets it back to 0 width again. I will try re-installing V5.1.0 and see if the issue persist although it happens on both a PC and a laptop.
I did find with V5.0.1 that line width changes were not persisted throughout a board unlike in V 4.0.x where if I set the width of a line as .01mm default then all lines on that layer stayed at .01mm, but that could only be done by editing the line when it was first drawn. With V 5.1.0 that facility has vanished from the "right click"/"edit" action on a line.
Hello John.
