Ratnest Incorrect after drag move

I selected and dragged all 4 layers of my design, however, now the ratnest are showing connections to nothing!

I have tried redraw and the like, but I cannot seem to solve the problem. They are still active, but I have lost trust in them!

Any suggestions. I am using:

Is it possible that there are some features on a hidden layer?
Did you run DRC?
Did you try to close kicad and open it again?

Is it possible that there are some features on a hidden layer?

No. The original was drawn over 4 layers and all those layers are visible.

Did you run DRC?
Yes, but it is hard to tell which unconnected items it is detecting.

Did you try to close kicad and open it again?
Yes :slight_smile:

Maybe there are some zero length tracks in that area. Make a block select and press DEL.

Also tried this …

Maybe there is a bug in your nightly build version. You could test the stable release. (I would not switch to a newer nightly build in the middle of a project. This would require remapping of symbols.)

What is the best way to seemlessly and quickly switch to a stable build?

Sorry it was a “footprints back” that was switched off … very embarrasing.

Well uninstall your current release and install the stable build.

Or run one of these two in a virtual machine. (Then you can have both of them. Nightly for testing new features = helping with the kicad development. Stable for production use.)
