I don't understand what you mean. What it the "previous behavior" and what functionality do you want to restore ? There is no change. The list of available widths is also accessible in the track popup context menu (during track creation you can select a new width). in GAL mode you also can define on the fly a new width/via size during track creation. -- Jean-Pierre CHARRAS _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
