The bug that I filed has been marked as closed, but the behavior still exists. I ran into it a couple days ago when running KiCad 5.1.11 on a new computer.
I added a comment to the bug saying it was not fixed, but is there something else I need to do to reopen the bug? I’m not too familiar with GitLab, and I didn’t see an obvious way to reopen the bug.
5.1.12 was just released. Have you checked 5.1.12 to see if you can reproduce yet? If so, please update your latest bug report with the results whether positive or negative.
Something strange is going on with Gitlab. I added a comment to bug 9599, and it looked like it was submitted. But now, whenever I go back to that page, it shows my comment in a text editing box, as if it hasn’t been posted yet.
That happens sometimes with gitlab. Refreshing the web page helps. If you fear loosing text, copy the text first so that you can paste it to the text field afterwards if it’s not there.
