Looks like a different bug (2.9mm drill is smaller than 3.2mm pad).

I can’t reproduce it on 5.0rc2 Mac.  Not sure if that’s because it’s fixed in 5.0, or it only shows up on Windows, or it’s something specific to Michael’s setup.

If not, I will mail it to any and all of you to look at.  I won't obfuscate, I'd be afraid to disturb the problem.  I see no real problem sharing the board with Kicad developers but can also understand why my employer is not keen to have our boards posted on the internet.

I have a PCB that has a NPH hole located off the board, I can't see it or select it inside PCBNew, however, it gets a hole in the gerbers and I can find it in the kicad_pcb file if I open the file with a text editor.
