Re: Pcbnew zoom to fit behavior changed

 

Thanks Jon, now this makes sense.
With ability to disable worksheet in items panel to revert to old behavior
I am mostly satisfied. Ideally I wouldn't have to do that since honestly
the only time I pay attention to worksheet is in the very last stage of the
project when gerbers are already done and I just fill in the metadata for
publishing.
But I can see the consistency argument and unchecking one tick box at the
start of the project is certainly not a big deal.
