Hey all,

Bug #699299 is targeted for the next bug release, but it is not clear
what needs to be done. It is about the 'a' key (clone attributes) and
its effect on the route style selector.


There are two discussions going on in that bug:

  1. How should the route-style selector's status be changed when
     the user presses 'a'? Right now it does nothing. Probably if
     you clone an object that matches a known route style, it should
     switch to that style.

     If you clone an object that -doesn't- match a known style,
     should it do nothing? Should it switch to the closest known
     style? Should it create a new temporary style and switch to
     that?

  2. How much should be switched? If you clone a via whose sizes
     match the 'Signal' style, should the trace width also change
     to 'Signal'?
