Net navigator panel empty after enabling for first time

Schematic
1

Hello,

I have a question regarding the Net Navigator panel in the Schematic Editor.

If I open the schematic editor when the net navigator panel is disabled and then enable it it’s empty. It will be filled if you either

  • close the net navigator panel and enable it again
  • close schematic editor and open it again
  • run ERC

Is this a bug and should I open an issue in gitlab?

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open Schematic Editor
  2. Make sure Net Navigator is disabled. If it is enabled disable it, close Schematic Editor and open it again
  3. Enable Net Navigator (it’s empty)
