Bug Description

PCBnew considers two sections of the ground pour to be separate even though they are not. (Removing the GND via makes a ratsnest gnd line visible.)

This happens if there is just not enough space for the gnd pour to "properly?" flood through.

This might actually a "sub-bug": The round THT-pads are round ovals (1.7mm x 1.7mm). Changing them to circle (1.7mm), the pour has enough clearance to properly flood through and get logically connected.

Bug is also present in 5.99 (git).
