I will build and test tonight!

Praise $DIETY :) Seriously, though, I had a couple of gigs back east and in the downtime on the plane I worked on a design on my MacBook Pro and the trackpad zoom was unusable in OpenGL mode. So I am looking forward to testing this too.

I don’t have a Retina display Mac but I will test the wx build.

Yeah, I just muted the system bong and that went away. But a patch is nice.

It does seem to be consistently inconsistent. That’s the thing about the GAL mode; no scroll bars and I couldn’t figure out how to pan with the trackpad. I’m sure there’s a magic configuration somewhere will enable emulating middle mouse button or something.
