Tear Drops - Bug

As shown below there is a bug in the tear drops, not all vias have tear drops.




Using Tools > Teardrops > Add > All > Vias



























The work around:

Shelve the polygons first, then create the teardrops, then re-pour the Polygons.

Now the teardrops are properly generated.





















Altium should alert the user to shelve the polygons before generating teardrops.

Idea: create a smarter algorithm for generating the teardrops.  Example ignore the teardrop / polygon violations while generating the teardrops, then fix the polygons during the next pour.

That's it !
