I believe the diagonal panning is the wxWidgets bug that I was talking about in my most recent response to Nick, which he forwarded to the list. 

It exposed the fact that wxWidgets changes the axis on shifted mousewheel events and is the reason that I reversed the shift and cmd modifiers for horizontal and vertical panning in my branch.  Well, that plus the fact that every other Mac application on the planet uses shift for horizontal scrolling.

Regular nightly builds of the product branch would need wxwidgets-3.0.0_macosx_scrolledwindow.patch applied to fix this, which i sent to the list some time back and Wayne committed.
