Gschem fails to handle (find, zoom onto, list, highlight, etc.) nets by
name. I consider this a bug. It keeps me from, guess, finding, jumping
onto nets using the GUI. This, together with another shortcoming about how
to handle projects with multiple schs, keeps me from fully exploiting
back annotation.
Simplest example: pin 1 of U5 is connected to Vcc, and it shouldn't be.
Gschem can't navigate me to all occurances where this happens so that I
can easily walk thrhough them and fix them. Instead, I manually have to
crawl through all schs and find somtimes very hidden connections (e.g.
burried in net attributes of heavy symbols)
I know you don't need this GUI feature. I do need it. Random EEs I know
are likely to agree with me.
