Steve,
I can't say that I have seen your precise problems. But here are a few
suggestions:
I never do polygons that overlap for several reasons, a couple are:
1) Overlapping polygons are sensitive to repour ordering.
2) It is just too damn hard to select the one you may want to edit.
I also don't do pours past my board outline for the very reason you mention
about selecting the polygon when clicking outside the board outline.
For your problem 3, I would bet that your polygon pours are not where
you expect them to be. Probably because of problem 2. Click around until you
can find them, change their remove dead copper option and repour. I am betting
you will find them somewhere that you least expected. (You can export to ASCII,
edit the dead copper parameter on the pours and re-import. If you can't find
them by clicking around.)
Maybe those tips may help eliminate your problems.

Subject: [PEDA] 99SE Polygon Pours
Hi,
I'm having difficulty with polygon pours in 99SE. I have a board
design that employs a number of pours on both layers with overlapping
boundaries. I've noticed weird behavior over the last few days.
1. Artifacting in pours. I see extra traces with via stubs, holes,
etc... appear. Previously, I deleted extra primitives and repoured
to fix problems. I observed these problems towards the end of last week.
2. While trying to select primatives outside the board area, the
polygon pours were selected and moved to my edit location. This
problem popped up yesterday.
3. This is the big one. Today I can't select or edit polygon
pours. This is new and scary. I poured a new polygon outside the
board area and I have no problems. I also tried repairing the database.
It looks like things are going from bad to worse. Please help.
Regards,
Steve
