I get the swapped component foot print thing, I think it's due to loading
the first footprint it finds with that name, a few footprints are
duplicated and tend to swap randomly for me. I changed the search order
for assets and maybe deleted a few that were problematic.
I'm on
gschem 1.8.2 (g875406c)
