Library footprint errors in Kicad 6.99

Layout Footprints
1

Since I upgraded last week to a nightly version 6.99 I get errors running a DRC check like:
[lib_footprint_issues]: Footprint ‘R_Axial_DIN0207_L6.3mm_D2.5mm_P7.62mm_Horizontal’ does not match copy in library ‘Resistor_AJP’.

  • Local override; Severity: error*
  • @(105.3550 mm, 116.6700 mm): Footprint R12*

I only get these errors with footprints from my own libraries.
Updating the footprint with the same one fixes the error temporarily until I reopen the design or do an “update from PCB”, then they are all back.
The libraries have been added to the library list

Hi David,

Indeed it looks to be that one.
Reason for (also) posting it here in the group was to see / get a feeling how often people run into this bug.

Kind regards , Bram

You do realise that you are using the experimental build? V7 release is a year way

I do, already using KiCad for quite some years.

I have seen this error in the recently released V6
