Audiojack symbol vs footprint mismatch in library

The Connector:Audiojack3_Switch symbol names its pins TN, T, RN, R, SN, S. However, among (at least) the Neutrik connectors in footprint library Connector_Audio, some of them name the SN pin as G, which causes the symbol and footprint to incompatible. There is no compatible symbol in the library, so this appears to be a mistake?

Affected footprints are at least the following:

  • Jack_6.35mm_Neutrik_NRJ6HF-1-AU_Horizontal
  • Jack_6.35mm_Neutrik_NRJ6HF-1_Horizontal
  • Jack_6.35mm_Neutrik_NRJ6HH-1_Horizontal

Could be more, but these are the ones that I bumped into.
