MacOS Sequoia 15.1.1 KiCAD 8.0 Bugs?

Software
1

I have some strange behaviour with KiCAD 8.0.6 and 8.0.7
Pop-Up Windows do not show. I have to start Mission Control and click on the used window before I see the options.
This is for

  • “Choose Symbol”
  • And all other pup-up windows.

In PCB Editor, when updating PCB from Schematics the ratnet lines are there, but the new footprints are not. Only after saving en exiting PCB editor and starting it again the footprints are shown.

Are there other MAC users that have these problems?

Try tomorrow’s 8.0 testing build, there was a change possibly related to that which was in the nightly builds but not the 8.0 branch until just now

I have installed the 20241206 nightly build.

Some problems are gone! Great.
But some are still there:

Schematic Editor:

  • Save Changes somewhere in the background
  • Selected Symbols are hard to see (sortof grayed-out until not selected anymore)

Symbol Editor:

  • Confirmation pop-up not active (not in front)

Footprint Editor:

  • Add to Library Table not active (not in front)

PCB Editor:

  • Save Changes pop-up not active (not in front)
  • Design Rule Checker not active (not in front)
  • Trace Selectie only by typing f.i. “F.S”-> F.Silkscreen and so on (drop down does not work)

I would report an issue about the windows in the background. I don’t see those problems (but I’m also not on macos 15)
