Bug Description
When a sheet file is used multiple times in a schematic (i.e. copying the hierarchical sheet block), nets generated from a local label of different sheets result in having the same name shown on the PCB: As an example, in the attached project you see two nets with the same name ("a") that have not to be connected and this can be a little bit confusing for the user.
In the "inspect->list nets" dialog the full name (including the sheet name) is shown, so in that dialog there is not this problem (but the full name is of course usually too long to be shown inside a pad)
A possible improvement can be highlighting/
In the attached file a simple project example.
Cheers,
Dino.

Instead of highlighting how about prefixing the shown name with three dots?
