Folks,

Was putting final touches on a design and after some edits now I get
multiple "joined line/via not connected to polygon" errors. I had been 
increasing the line width of a few traces and little else. 

I quit the tool hoping for some resolution as I had seen some errors related
to incorrect serial numbers on undo’s. I saved and restarted as the tool advised 
so undoing to get back to square one is not an option.

I have looked at most of the errors flagged. They are all in an area where 
both top and bottom layers (2.4Ghz, 2 layers) can be used as ground planes.
Many of the traces have never had a connection to either plane and furthermore 
I did not touch them in the final edit session. Others have always been 
connected to the ground plane via a join(on top) followed by a via to both sides
using thermal tool to connect to both planes.

I think DRC is lying to me. Have looked for hours but cannot find what is
going on. The only difference in the pieces of the polygons I can find is that
the object report for most is “clearly, selected,fullpoly” while one other piece
includes “found”.  Can someone throw me a idea? 

Running PCB 4.2.2 on Ubuntu 19.10.

Thanks in advance,
Roger Traylor
