DRC fails to detect copper polygon in footprint short-circuiting pads or tracks

Description

When a copper polygon is a part of a footprint, the DRC does not detect shorts of tracks or pads (even with extended options of DRC set). Expected behaviour is that all unintended short-circuits are detected by DRC.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Place a footprint containing copper polygon to board so that it shorts tracks or pads of different netKiCad_unintended_short-circuit.
  2. Tick DRC options:
  • Report all errors for tracks (slower)
  • Test tracks against filled copper areas (very slow)
  1. Run DRC
