I've just run a couple of my patched .fpb files through the wxFormBuilder
3.5.0beta and the generated C++ base files are identical to my patched
versions. Additionally, I created a quick new project and text boxes now
have the maxlength property set to empty rather than zero, and the
generated C++ is correct. So this problem *shouldn't* occur with the latest
version of wxFormBuilder, though I'm not sure (a) in which version it was
fixed, or (b) what version is suggested for KiCad development.
