Unexpected BOARD::MarkTrace: multiple pad_on_start

[ekoeck]

Hey there, has anybody an idea what this warning message means? I have one track where this warning pops up every time I press U or I to select (part of) it. I already deleted the track and routed it newly but the warning persists, but beneath the warning message there doesn’t seem to be another issue. At least I can continue to work normally, just curious what I’m doing wrong.

TIA!

I got this same message recently. Has something been changed in 5.1 branch bug fixes which made this appear?

Can you provide a minimal board that shows this?

[eelik]

It may be difficult to repeat. I closed and reopened the board and the problem in that place went away. So, sending a board may not help at all. The editing sequence which leads to that should be found, but it’s not easy.

[ekoeck]

The warning somehow disappeared (maybe through reopening as well). If someone could describe what this message means it would be easier to provoke it an provide a minimum working example.

If you are experiencing this issue, please add details to https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1838261

Ideally, we would like to know exactly how you triggered it, modes you were running, screencap, etc.

eelik, You are using a different version of kicad, and a different operating system.

@Seth_h thanks for the link. I reported my part and will see if I can contribute further.
