Select an electrolitic capacitor (but a resistor produce same effect) and a LM386
Connect capacitor (or resistor) to pin 1 an 8
On the capacitor the pins are shorted and connected to one of the pin of the IC
…
What I expected should have happened instead:
capacitor must be connected between pin 1 and 8 of the IC

Without the sketch we can’t be sure, but you probably forced a connection in another view.
Make the circuit again paying attention to the part’s pin #s in each view.
I’ve found the issue in a bigger project, so, for testing, I create a new sketch, placed the two components and maked the connections.
It was the one I used to take the screenshots above.
If I make connection in Breadboard view, the problem appear in schematic and vice versa.
Also in PCB view the issue is present.test.fzz (2.4 KB)
In attach a test sketch.
There is an internal connection between pin 1 and 8 of the LM386, so effectively they are connected - click on pin 1 and pins 8 turns yellow -. That’s why it connects that way in other views. Right-click the part and EDIT, then tick box ‘set Internal Connectors’ under the pin table on the right.
I’ve got some guides that mention that sort of stuff.
