Dick,
You wrote (in changelog)

* Layer names were not being set into the htoolbar listbox properly if the
BOARD was loaded via the command line as happens when kicad chain loads
pcbnew. Also, layer names were not being set if a second board was 
loaded
that had the same number of layers as the previous board. The 
solution was
to comment out the listbox rebuild test in WinEDAChoiceBox*
WinEDA_PcbFrame::ReCreateLayerBox( WinEDA_Toolbar* parent )

Unfortunaltely, comment out the listbox rebuild test creates a problem 
under Windows.
Because without this test, the listbox is rebuild when the mouse is 
moving, the rebuild creates a very important flicker when displaying the 
layer list.
So the listbox must be rebuild only if necessary (at least, not for each 
mouse move event).
This is not a calculation time problem, only a display problem for the 
main horizontal toolbar.

Thanks,
