gEDA-user: some pcb-20081128 nuisances/bugs

hi all,

after running PCB rev. 20081128 for some time, I think it's time to
report some troubles I ran into. Maybe the bugs are already reported or
(even better) fixed.

* My design contains an ATmega16 microcontroller and there are pins
named "PD5 (OC1A)" in gschem. When I run the .cmd file generated by
gsch2pcb in PCB this becomes "PD5 (OC1A" in the info window popping up
then hitting <ctrl>-<r>. On the shell msgs like "unknown action `PC6)'"
appear. Appears to be a parser problem ...
* Sometimes the meaning of the layer visibilty buttons is inverted. To
reproduce this, one start with a new layout, draws a single line on the
silk screen. Then hide the silk screen by pressing the 'silk' button.
Select 'Start New Layout' from the menu. Now lines drawn on the silk
screen are invisible, although the 'silk' button is active. Now the
meaning of the button is inverted!
* (this one is maybe a result of my scarce pcb skills) after working for
a while (and highlighting some nets during that time), pressing the
'Select' button doesn't high light the net permanently; the net is only
flashing.
* lines drawn on the silk screen of the layout have the 'found' flag set
(making them greenish), arcs for example don't have the 'found' flag
set. Doesn't apply to elements on other layers.


Another question (no bug!):
I need another layer for ensuring the creepage distance. What's the
correct procedure to insert a new layer without breaking up all the
routed tracks?
