[Bob Gustafson <bobgus@xxxxxxx>]

The latest OSX nightly has greatly enhanced panning and zoom on both the 
schematic and pcbnew (Legacy and OpenGL)

The panning works with a two finger drag on the trackpad - both up-down 
and left-right work in a very natural way - no meta-keys need to be pressed.

The zoom is smooth without large movements - all initiated with pinch-in 
and pinch-out gestures - very natural for OSX users.

The pan moves up-down and left-right until the paper edge comes into the 
view, then the pan stops - this is great, just exactly as expected.

The only thing noticed that is not quite up to par is the panning in the 
OpenGL view of the pcb. The panning here does not have the paper edge as 
a limit.

Thanks much for the effort to get the OSX trackpad to work intuitively.

Have fun
Bob G
