Footprints/pads on internal layers

I will definitely do this. I can’t submit my current design, but I will make a nice example file to demonstrate.

thanks

No, I mean while doing the board layout. I did not change layers in the footprint editor, but in the .kicad_pcb file. Once changing layers, you cannot move the now invisible footprint, even if it is ‘selected’. If you try a block move, you may inadvertently leave the inner footprints behind.

So you are saying this is more a selection problem ?
That should resolve with an inner layer visibility menu switch addition fix ?

Yes. I cannot verify, of course, but I believe you are correct. It behaves as if you cannot fully select the part/pad once it has been moved to an inner layer.
