[Jean-Paul Louis <louijp@xxxxxxxxx>]

Are we going to the stable release with all the drop-down items broken on pcbnew OSX?

I cannot use the mouse or the track-pad to select any of the items on the four drop-down menus for Track size, Via size, Grid size and Zoom selection.

I reported this several times, but nobody seems to acknowledge it. Is it an issue with my setting? or it is a real issue?

Thanks for letting me know.

A very frustrated Jean-Paul
