Hi Kevin, Are you thinking about when someone is editing the schematic later in eeschema, or when someone exports to a PDF or prints it? Both concerns have been raised and I think are valid. I like the idea of some kind of mouseover info, or showing the contents in the message panel (that one is actually quite easy to implement) But for the plot/print, perhaps later there could be a feature to generate some table of buses? On the other hand, you can always look at when the busses are broken out into plain nets to see the contents in a printed schematic.
