Hi Andy,

Does this happen on OSX only? In either case, the interactive router
works a bit different to the old one:
- draws clearances in the 'highlight collisions' mode only (in
shove/walkaround, the clearance is obviously visible...)
- draws clearance zones of the colliding traces instead of the trace
being routed. The reason is the trace being drawn may have different
clearance requirements for different nets/types of colliding objects, so
it's not possible in many cases to draw a single clearance zone. See the
attached drawing.

Cheers,
Tom
