The “Footprint graphic items” bug was a dyn_cast when a dynamic_cast was needed (dyn_cast doesn’t handle inheritance).

I can’t reproduce the “Other footprint fields” on fab layers problem.

Cheers,
Jeff.

As an aside, would you expect a footprint field with the text %R to get updated with “Other footprint fields” or “Footprint references”?
