I have two nets that show a ratsnest link in layout but the link is not shown on the schematic. I replaced some footprints, could that cause it? How does this happen if it is not on the schematic? How do I delete the ratsnest? The ratnest has the same name as one of my traces.

Such surprising connection happen to me once with my first KiCad V5 project when I didn’t know that changing supply symbol name is not enough to get new net. So my VCC (being 3V3) and V5 nets were shorted even there were no such line at schematic.
As now in V8 changing power symbol name is enough than this can’t happen the same way again.
This is a commercial design so I can’t post it for IP reasons. I tried ripping up some of the traces and redoing them and the issue went away. It would be nice to know how it happened and why this fixed it but sometimes you’re glad to just say it works now. I also had a via that wasn’t assigned a net name. I used the name of the attaching trace and everything now works. Everybody thanks for looking.
