DRC: footprint doesn't match copy in library

Description

The DRC-check "footprint doesn't match copy in library" produces false results for some footprints on bottom side of board.

  • seems to be affected by custom pad shapes
  • could also be a footprint loading problem (during board loading)

Steps to reproduce

  1. open attached project, open board: DRC_FP_different_01.zip
  2. run DRC
  3. get 2x "footprint doesn't match copy in library"-warning (see picture)
  4. OK
  5. update both footprints from library (both are contained in projectlibrary)
  6. run DRC --> no error, good
  7. save board, close kicad, reopen kicad, reopen board
  8. rerun DRC: error is back (see picture again)
