Hierarchical bus port

Asked by Hildo Guillardi Júnior

I am using the last Nighty (version 201904182303+2bcf38d~82~ubuntu16.04.1) and I release that some hierarchical bus ports became dark yellow and others became blue (same as the bus itself).
See:

Is this some bug or new feature that could indicate correct or incorrect connection?

The bus ports should be all blue -- it looks like in your screenshot some are still yellow, so this is a bug.

So, the bus port are blue and the simple wire port still yellow?
This may explain bug lp:1825532, the bus hierarchical port is yellow and the connection is not passed to Pcbnew. Also having different behavior when I synchronize by NET file.

Yes, in 6.0 bus ports will be blue. I will look in to 1825532, it's possible they are related like you say

Checking now, the busses that I reported there are blue port inside the hierarchical sheet but yellow port in the block used in the root sheet.

I am also using a `~error[5..0]~`. A bus of error signals active LOW and is also not recognize.
