Hello Fred,

There are not so many people (yet) which run KiCad on Mac OS X, I build 
it regular and also with latest development version of wxWidgets. The 
underlaying graphics layer is not the most efficient/fastest in kicad.

The scrolling/zooming with the touchpad on the macbook zooms and scrolls 
at the same time and needs to be fixed.

More testing is needed on OS X but there is only a small group of users 
and developers on this platform.

Kind regards,
Jerry
