Be careful of names here:
Vcc is also the name of a power port that you will place on the circuit.
For ERC and so on a power in needs to connect to a power out somewhere.
The problem which I think you will eventually remember, as it's a trap we
all fall into, is that in most cases you need to tell the system that a
net is powered.
Somewhere on the circuit, add a gnd power port and also add a power flag
to it.
Likewise do the same for Vcc if there are no other power outs provided.
All the power flag does is tell ERC that the net has power, that makes
everything happy.
I get a different behaviour (linux) the scroll ring (I use a trackball)
zooms the display even if the cursor is over the vert or horiz slider
bars.
Have a fiddle with preferences / pan and zoom
centre and warp cursor on zoom - try switching that off and see if that
suits your needs better.

Hi community!
I'm using KiCad 5 for the first time on Windows. I've used KiCad 4 in the past and am getting to know the new functions. Only two questions at this stage. What's wrong with the attached? The standard schematic for the LM556 has been defined with Vcc as being Power Input and GND as Power Output. However as I've attached both Grounds to the same Network, there's a clash. And changing the GND to a Power Input results in them not being "driven". HELP!
Secondly, in Windows, normally when I click on the up and down arrows on the scroll bar, the window moves accordingly. But not in KiCad 5 PcbNew. As this is a standard Windows function, why does PcbNew prevent it from happening? Clicking on the scroll-bar, incidentally, works as it should. This is true for both vertical and horizontal scroll bars. Eeschema behaves as it should.
Thanks!
