I think this is related to a bug I reported recently, see this thread. http://archives.seul.org/geda/user/Oct-2008/msg00329.html You may try selecting and deselecting "Crosshair shows DRC clearance" this may fix it. For me this bug occured about 10 times now, in 100 hours of work. I have no idea what triggers it. For me it is pcb 20080202 (GTK) Best regards Stefan Salewski _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
