Yes, that's the issue: the (thick) solid grey "major axis" lines on the background seemed to be a wire.

If I could make a recommendation, get rid of the grid lines entirely and only have 'dots' at regular spacing. Here's what Cadence Virtuoso looks like (the most popular circuit schematic tool for integrated circuit design):
