Bug Description

Basically, there should be a beep/blink when a track cannot be created due to DRC violations.

From Users-ML:

Exactly, for a beginner, I could not figure out why I could not lay a trace sometimes.
Later I noticed the status on a status line, but it is not obvious right away.
A beep or a highlighting of the error area would be nice (feature request)."
