Hi all,

As I am working on bus features I have dived into all the ways you can use
buses (that I haven't always known about myself).

One thing I noticed was an example given on the docs:
http://docs.kicad-pcb.org/stable/en/eeschema.html#wires-buses-labels-power-ports

Under "Global connections between buses", you have three different named
bus segments joined together with a junction, and a description of how
their nets will be connected during netlisting.

a) This behavior seems to be kind of broken at present -- when I try to
replicate it, the junction is sometimes automatically removed, and the
netlist does not join all of the nets as described in the manual (maybe
related to Seth's recent changes?)

b) Those of you who use this feature: how do you use it?  Do you care that
the final netlist arbitrarily picks one of the possible net names?

Thanks,

-Jon
