[PCBNew] Unconnected items are not being highlighted
I am running DRC, and the unconnected items are not highlighted on the screen. It is not straightforward to find the issue. It can be improved.
So, is this an expected behavior? I would like to see at least something that highlights the track/pad that is not connected.
One initial idea is to use the "Highlight network" tool to do that when the user clicks the "Unconnected Items" line on the "DRC Control" window.
What do you think about that?
This behavior is even worst when using Gnome as the Window manager since it locks the popup window in the center of the parent window. I came here just to report this, but I found that Alt+Clicking the child window releases it from the parent.
