In OrCAD Capture 25.1, certain naming formats for off-page connectors cause abnormal jumps in the Signals navigation function.

I recently encountered an odd software bug while drawing schematics in OrCAD Capture.

1. Create a blank OrCAD Capture project, and add two schematic pages: Page1 and Page2.

2. Place two off-page connectors on Page1 with the net names A+9 and A+_ respectively.

3. Place three off-page connectors on Page2 with the net names A+9, A+_ and A_ respectively.
(The leading letter "A" can be replaced with any alphabetic character.)

Right-click any off-page connector and select the Signals option to bring up the signal navigation list. You will see disordered, incorrect jump targets in this list. Nevertheless, the exported final netlist contains fully correct electrical connections as expected.

You can test the jump function by sequentially clicking every off-page connector on both schematic pages to reproduce this defect.

This makes people mistakenly believe that the signals are not connected when actually checking the wiring relationships in the schematic.

Is this kind of issue acceptable in Capture?

I’m not sure if everyone can reproduce this issue.
