gEDA-user: Strange user interface behavior with gschem-1.6.2.20110115

Hello, I have a strange usability behavior with gschem 1.6.2.20110115 (the version that comes with ubuntu-11.04). I have attached a small schematic to illustrate the problem. In the attached schmatic, when I try to draw a net from U6-pin27 to the gate of Q6, a little circle appears on the

For the last two (three?) years I used and tested Peters pcb+GL branch of PCB because it provided the joy of speed and transparency. If Peter would screw his version, which he rarely did, I could fall back to git-head from gpleda.org . Fall back to the last relased version of PCB would have been

If this happens too often, I may have to quit using and testing the cutting edge version. After all, I still have to get my projects done. I guess, other users feel the same. This has always been the case. If you want a stable reliable tool, use a released version, or stick with one

Maybe give a non-dev volunteer permission to make official development snapshots, similar to how Icarus Verilog has done in the past. Go for it, I say. It's Free Software, they don't need permission, they just need dedication. If they offer something useful, people will use it. Note that I
