Fix the simulation of nested subcircuits
Currently, when adding a subcircuit that itself contains a subcircuit, the simulation just behaves as if the subcircuit's ports aren't connected.
Please allow arbitrarily nested sub-circuits, so that we can use iCircuit to teach digital logic - half-adder, then full-adder, then multiple-bit adder, subtractor, then multiplier, and finally ALU.
It would also help if 'wide'/bus wires were possible.
Thanks!

This is fixed in v1.11 which will be released this week. Thank you all for your patience!

I have run into this problem too. It’s a pity sub-sub circuits don’t work as it would open the way to creating arbitrarily complex circuits. It would be really nice if this could be fixed, thanks.

ditto. This is a critically needed fix

Just spent the evening trying to debug this issue. Should have google'd it first. Abandon ship.

Just spent an hour trying to tweak around this issue, not believing there could be such a glaring limitation to my recently purchased icircuit app. Guess I was wrong. Please fix this issue, manually entering and changing repetitive sub circuits is quite a pain in the neck, and yet another reason beyond frustrating touch input that is making me rapidly regret this purchase.

It's a show stopper for me. Moving to another tool until this is fixed.

Completely agree with making nested subcircuits work. For now, perhaps disable them so that a circuit with ports and a subcircuit can't be used as a subcircuit. It would have saved me a lot of time fault finding.
