minor issue: graphic line "auto merge" in eeschema (lp:#1821728)
Original report created by Dino Ghilardi (dino-ghilardi)
Problem: when you align two consecutive joint lines they are merged into a
single line even if the line style is different.
Reproducing the issue: In eeschema draw a first horizontal line, dashed.
Edit the line and change the line style to "solid"
Draw a new line starting from one of the external points of the old line.
If you draw it horizontal, eeschema joins the line with the old one, using
only one of the settings for the line style, so, for instance, you cannot
continue a solid line with a dashed segment if they are aligned.
The same problem arises if you edit a line moving an initial-final point:
when it is aligned with an old segment it is joined also when line
attributes are different.
Possible solution: do not join two lines in a single one if the line
attributes are different.
The same behaviour can be seen for other attributes as the color of the
line.
