Stacked N/C pins get common net assigned in PCBNew (lp:#1851403)
Original report created by Enrico (eatis)
If I stack N/C pins in the symbol editor (make all but one not visible)
they get a common net assigned in PCBNew and the connections between the
pads counts as unconnected traces. Same happens if the stacked pins are
declared as anything else but N/C and I assign N/C flag manually. I don't
remember this behavior from earlier versions (but I'm not 100% sure) and
think it's a bug because it makes no sense to connect all the N/Cs of one
IC together or get them listed as unconnected otherwise.
I hope my explanation is comprehensible, see attached screenshot as well.
