Hi Camille,

Thanks for the tests and the bug report.

This seems strange to me - I have just tried out all of board included 
in the demo folder and everything was fine. Netnames show up, when the 
zoom is big enough - maybe try zooming even more?

I have just observed that too, I will fix it soon.

It is not very clear to me - could you describe the problem with more 
details? Is it about the case shown on the picture in the attachment? If 
yes - then it was done on purpose. Netnames are shown directly over 
tracks, so there are no situations when there is a track, a zone over 
the track and a netname is shown on the zone.
Also, having semitransparent netnames blending into each other makes 
them hard to read, I think it is better when one is covered by another 
than when they are mixed up.

Kind regards,
Orson
