pcbnew: insufficient feedback when clearance constraints prevent routing from starting
There are some cases where the trace tool unpredictably activates as a tool but it simply doesn't start drawing a trace at all.
Sample file: pns-issue.kicad_pcb The problem part shown is U10.
Example:
But it's fine with this pad to pad
Additionally, if I start from the connecting pad in video 1, it draws to the problem pad no issue
I understand there are DRC rules it may want to follow but it seems unstable
