kicad pcbnew duplicate reference designations
Using 5.99 nightly I have begun my pcb layout. I found that if I had placed a few footprints then edited schematic and updated the pcb, I lost my previous footprint placements. So now I locked the footprint placements I made.
Now I find that when I edit the schematic and update the pcb, the locked footprints are duplicated. (Two of them on the pcb.) I am attaching a .gif.
Footprints which were not placed and locked do not appear to be duplicated.
I did search to see whether this bug was already listed; found nothing
