Thanks, this is exactly what happens for me. The crosshair clamps to the 
top of the board, and only its vertical line indicates where some fault 
may be. Nothing gets highlighted either. Happens regardless of zoom 
level. I've just tested this out on a trivial example where two vias are 
overlapping.

I realise I'm using an old build, as supplied by the usual Ubuntu 
repository; just haven't had time to learn how to compile the more 
recent builds yet. Hope I'm not wasting the support community's time, 
but there will be a few other gEDA users sticking to the repository 
version I bet.

Cheers,
Matt
