Has someone noticed, or can someone reproduce, that the clearance outline around the rounded rectangular or square pad in the latest 7.99 Nightly is drawn strangely, not matching the pad?
See example in the screenshot below.
(This is a small test project I have used just to see that the nightlies start up, and sometimes for small tests of various new details. Originally created in 6.99 I think, but opens correctly in 7.0.x, and I haven’t noticed this problem in 7.99 Nightly until tonight - can’t say exactly when it has appeared, though.)
The same happens if I pick a THT footprint from the default library that contains a square pad. So it doesn’t seem to be related to the project carried over from previous versions.
Looks strange. My nightly install (Version: 7.99.0-1177-g9d452a6097, Win10) is 12hours older and doesn’t shows such a behaviour. Maybe tomorrows version?
Ok, so it doesn’t happen on the Ubuntu build from the same commit 9d452a60 as the Windows 10 build.
It is an indication that it might not be OS related, but might be related to any of the four commits mentioned before, though I can’t figure out what it could be. Nothing in those commits seems obviously related to this issue, but then I’m not a professional programmer either…
It also seems to have nothing to do with my specific project, as it is exactly the same if I start a new blank project and place footprints from the default KiCad library as in the screenshot below.
If anyone could test on a newer build - when one becomes available - than the one I have (see the first post), it would be interesting.
Also, if someone runs fedora, that could be interesting too.
I was staring at those parenthesis and counting them, and had a feeling that this is the kind of spot where it could be, but I didn’t have enough patience to figure out exactly what the calculations did in this context…
I’ll try it out again tonight.
