Footprint Editor: Bug or Feature? Solderpaste Margin/Clearance

Layout
1

Hi,
I stumbled over this problem when I wanted to edit 2 pads at once.
For the pads I wanted to put in “-10%” relative paste clearance.
When I entered that value into the field in the properties panel it came out in the properties dialogue like this :roll_eyes:

So you have to enter the percent as fraction of 1 there. Why is it not consistent?

What do you think?

Looks like a bug to me . . . if the units are % and you enter -10 that is -10%
