[Kicad-developers] 3: Net Connectivity

His third criticism is with net connectivity. What he did was he has a component with 4 GND pads in a row. He ran a track across them (in the middle) and finished it at the last pad. The Track clearly crosses all pads, however the DRC shows them as "unconnected" when they are really
