This would be the correct phrase: I boxed out the ground plane.

So there is no way of getting it to flood the boxed out areas again?

When I place a via into a poly it gets isolated at first. I have to add 
thermals to the via. This is quite unusal as plated vias don't need 
thermals.

When I put the via into a normal track it doesn't get isolated. I know I 
can use the shift key when placing the thermal to alter its style and 
the last thermal variant is simply a full connect ...


I know PCB is quite old and there are a lot of issues. I just wanted to 
know if this behaviour: "Outboxed planes don't flood again if 
re-connected" is documented as bug?

I am also willing to invest some time in bug hunting and maybe provide 
patches ...


greetings,
Bernhard
