Thanks.
The refresh issue is gone now. Good work.

I noticed a (minor) focus issue on Windows only, when both the pcb
editor and the footprint editor are open and their canvas are visible on
screen.

When the pcb editor is the active frame, if the mouse cursor is moved
out the frame and enters the module editor canvas, the module editor is
brought to the foreground and become the active window (without any
mouse click) It does not happen on Linux.

An other issue in module editor in openGL mode:
When a new footprint is loaded, it is put to the last mouse cursor position.
It should be loaded at position 0, 0.

Otherwise, strange thinks can happen (bad position of new added items,
old items not on the initial grid, erroneous coordinates shown in
dialogs when editing an item...) and can break the footprint in edit.
