Each time GERBER file is plotted, KICAD indicates that the PCB file have been changed (asterisk at the file name). This is confusing to me, and if I happen to leave KICAD open after plotting my GERBERS, I don’t really know what happened.
Is it only me that feels it should not behave like that?
Tested in V8 and V9.

Best suggestion:
Backup.
Plot Gerber.
Save pcb.
Compare backup to save.
I suspect that nothing will be different, and the asterisks is a bug, but if not, then you can post the differences.
Even if only the file time stamp is different, I’d call it a bug because it isn’t behaviour a user would expect and it is confusing.
