9.0.0 RC2 Gray track when placing tracks

Layout
1

On 9.0.0 RC2 when routing a track I get a large grey track as a preview. Once the track is placed it then goes to the correct size.

Is this a new feature in 9.X or some bug? It makes it difficult to route tracks.

Must be a bug, it shows the clearance area, right?

Also think it’s a bug. I didn’t see it in RC1.

It’s a bit bigger than the clearance.

I’ll raise a issue.

It is already fixed in 9.0.0-rc2-307-gbc25044e78
