Hi all,

The attached patch prevents invisible pins from being connected using the
wire tool in eeschema.

a) If you connect a wire endpoint to the same position as a pin endpoint,
they are NOT connected visually
b) Wires and insivible pins are also ignored during netlist creation
c) This does not affect the ability of invisible power-pins to
automatically connect to global power labels

Is the current behavior of connecting invisible pins to wire endpoints
desired? Or is it just an aberration?

If there is a very good reason that pins not visible in the schematic are
able to be connected silently?

(Note the 'dangling' wire-end indication)

Cheers,
Oliver
