[Garth Corral <gcorral@xxxxxxxxx>]

It could be my build of wxFormBuilder.  Support for OS X doesn't seem to be great.  There are no binaries for recent builds so I had to build it.  I certainly could have screwed it up.  It took a small amount of slashing to get it to build, mostly due to clang.  It is odd, though, that it's only that file. It seems to behave okay otherwise.  I'm on 10.9.5 and built with the latest Xcode tools, fwiw.

Any other Mac folk seeing this issue?

Not sure what version ppa corresponds to, but I’m also on a pretty recent version.  I built from the head of the 3.x branch (also tried the 3.4.2 and 3.5.0 tags) which should be roughly 3.5.x.

It will open it just fine, but after that I can’t use the UI; clicking on anything does basically nothing.  Just prior to this commit I was able to open it an click around and things basically worked.  Anyone else having this issue?

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.
