Hi KiCader’s!
Just face a strange issue I could not yet figure out yet… I’m working on a 4 layers layout and while manually routing a track I accidently hit “7” hotkey which seems to be “Tune single track”. When doing so the track just fade out little bit, I pressed “7” again and it fade out again! I just hit “Esc” but it would not be undone, nor when pressing “undo”…
When zooming out all my tracks on F.Cu layer are now faded out! (others layers are OK). I’ve not figured out how to undo this!
Any help please?
Update: it just appends in Modern Toolset mode. When in Legacy toolset I can see tracks properly.
That seems to be a bug. It looks like 7 affects the opacity of the active layer. Please report this to https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues if it hasn’t been reported already.
You can get the original opacity back by double clicking the layer color box and clicking OK in the color choosing dialog, or probably by using the key 0. This may depend on your OS, locale and keyboard. In my system 7 is probably interpreted as { because it’s behind the keyboard key 7.

working with Kicad for 6 mounths and I was not aware of the opacity option
