Re: [Kicad-developers] Should I start a new bug or is the reopened one suitable?

2022-05-27 Thread Steven A. Falco 

Thanks - next time I'll open a new report and ref the old one.  But I won't 
bother for this one, since Wayne has already commented about it on gitlab.

I recently reopened an issue [1] because I found an old schematic that could be 
opened properly by 5.1, but which gave "missing symbol" boxes when opened with 
6.0 and 6.99.

However, while the effect is the same, the root cause may be different, so 
maybe reopening the bug was the wrong approach.  Should I instead start a new 
bug for this?

Looking at the .sch files, the original has entries like:

$Comp
L RES-10M-5%-1/4W-CF R5
...
$EndComp

But after opening and saving the schematic with 5.1, this component has 
changed to:

$Comp
L e202var-vlf-radio-receiver-rescue:RES-10M-5%-1_4W-CF R5
...
$EndComp

At that point, 6.0 and 6.99 can correctly open the newly saved schematic.

Thus, it looks like 6.0 and 6.99 have lost the ability to deal with a "/" 
in a component name.  I don't know if any other special characters also fall into this 
category.
