No, it is not related to traces under pads. I draw straight, connected line segments (traces) with the line tool. (With active mm grid, i.e. 0.25 mm grid size) When I delete the traces or move them, then sometimes very short, nearly point shaped garbage traces remain. (Its an very old bug, I have seen it two years ago when I made my first board with pcb program.) I can not believe that this happens only to me -- if this is really unknown to other people I can made a layout with this garbage available. Problem is that I can give no description how to produce this garbage -- it occurs. I will do some testing with mil grid and see if this problem does not occur with that grid.
