​Hi Simon-

I think maybe we are seeing the severity of these bugs differently.  There
are three substantial issues addressed by this patch.  While they don't
affect many users, they do prevent KiCad from being used for larger, more
complex boards that we nominally support.  This is a also regression from
v4.

I don't think that this is a "do we fix?" issue but rather a "how do we
fix?" one.
