Hey OSX devs, I am sorry to not have been able to test Garth’s fix/workaround for the z-order issue with the DRC dialog I filed earlier. This morning, I found the time to install Adam’s DEBUG build of r5924, and apart from a short flickering while the DRC refills the zones, all seems to be fine. Thank you again!
May all the OSX bug reports against wxWidgets be heard (and eventually fixed!) one day...
