It’s pure coincidence that I was trying to use wxFormBuilder for the first time just prior to this commit, and that I was interested in that dialog.  I’m on a Mac so It’s certainly possible that this is down to my build of wxFormBuilder, but reverting this fbp file to the previous version allows it to work with the file again.

Hi Garth,

Sorry you're having grief. That file was generated by the latest
Ubuntu PPA version of wxFormBuilder. I'll check the actual version
number when I get home. As other dialogs had the same FileVersion
setting I think we decided that the FileVersion was okay to use.

Could you try opening any of the other dialogs which have the 1.13
FileVersion setting and see if you experience any similar problems
with then?

Likely it's a wxFormBuilder issue and a difference between the one
you're using and the one I'm using.

Best Regards,

Brian.
