Adding the detection of floating wires - any place a green square is present - to the schematic would be highly helpful to me. While not everyone seems to view the green square as an error, for those of us who implement a strict "no-green-square" policy in our schematics, it would be nice if we were alerted if a green square did happen to show up.

I believe this is of extra importance in schematic software like Kicad which does not automatically adjust the wires if a component is moved. Some programs redraw the wires when components are moved and preserve the intent of the user. I have no problem with the Kicad approach, but it does increase the probability that I will inadvertently alter the schematic when clean it up for finalization.

Seeing green square alerts in the ERC solves all of this.
