This is just a misnamed item. That "pinname" really shows a connection
name which is combined of your element name (U6, its refdes) and the pin
number you hover the mouse over (36 in this case). The result is
something like a schematic net name after netlist creation. The
connection name is defined in the function 'describe_location' in
gui-output-events.c (gtk hid) which calls the function 'ConnectionName'
which in turn is defined in rats.c and actually returns the number of
the pad or pin in question. That said, this is simple to fix. The patch
is attached.
