added an option to enable/disable magnetic tracks in the general options dialog of PCBnew (same as the magnetic pads option.) Haven't fixed the via issue (since I don't quite understand why it is doing this, nor does it occur in 100% of the cases), but now you can just turn off magnetic tracks when I desire to move vias by small increments. Magnetic tracks are on by default. Original via complaint here: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/kicad-devel/message/1155 Also mostly gotten rid of the annoying "Unable to drag this segment: two collinear segments" error. Now, if two (or more) segments are collinear, they are merged into one equivalent segment when you try to drag them while maintaining slope. I can't imagine any cases where this would be a bad thing (and I have plenty of experience where the error was not desired!). Note I say *mostly* because there still seem to be some length=1 (e.g. 0.003mm) segments at the end of valid-length segments. I do not want to remove them because this would change the board layout, though in a basically imperceptible way. We could maybe have an option to clean & remove these minimal-length segments, but I worry that they serve to connect things slightly off grid & those things on-grid; also, removal may cause DRC errors. It would be good if we could avoid their creation.(?)
