Re: wxAUI woes

 

I finally discovered the issue. To add a new wxAUI pane, I had to go into
~/.config/kicad/pcbnew and delete all entries relating to modview. After
this, I was able to see the new item.

So, is there is a potential problem with wxAuiManager::LoadPerspective, if
the layout configuration has changed?
