A shared USB isolator part had supply pins typed power_out, so they clashed with a regulator in ERC; the 16-SOIC footprint had its origin at the body corner, a 1.2714 mm pitch instead of 1.27, and pads about as narrow as the leads. Any board already using it moves by (3.75, -6.4) mm on 'Update footprint from library', including a named evaluation board.
