Transistors represented as open switches during simulation

[logoliv]

When choosing "inverter" as transistor symbol : during circuit creation symbol is fine, but during simulation it appears as open switch everytime (even when gate is closed) : We don't need to have a "switch", it's disturbing, and the change of color of the gate is sufficient to see that the transistor is open or closed. Keep the same symbol as in edit mode.

For the floating output, you can color blue what will be the "closed switch" from S to D, that would be fine as when a transistor's gate is open the high impedance state begins just after the source anyway.

That's a bug, thanks for reporting.

Regarding the question whether we need a switch or not: I personally like the switch, because it helps me to mentally track what's going on. And I guess the same is true for students.

But I understand that these features can be disturbing for pro's. Maybe this feature should be made optional. There are already several setting that turn certain "supportive" features on and off:

• Simulation -> Animation
• View -> Gate Mnemonic
• Preferences -> General -> Show tips for beginners

I'm not sure which of these settings to choose for enabling/disabling transistor switch display.
