Hi everyone!
Congratulations btw to all concerned for the passage to 6.0 rc1!
I just installed, under Windows, 6.0 rc1 in parallel to 5.99 (and 5.1.12) and migrated my plugins.
Greg Davill’s most excellent plugin KiBuzzard
showed an interesting change in behavior though:
On 5.99 Kicad until today, when I clicked on “OK” in the user GUI to create the SilkScreen tag, it “attached” the tag to my mousepointer, so I had just to place it.
On 6.0 rc1, when I clicked “OK” , the GUI closed as usual, and then nothing. First I thought that KiBuzzard was broken on 6.0rc1, but then I thought of pressing Ctrl+V, and there was the tag !
Maybe it is a bug, maybe it is intended, but that’s the behavior (and workaround for now): The tag is in the clipboard, safe and sound.
