[Wayne Stambaugh <stambaughw@xxxxxxxxx>]

There definitely was a change in the commit that removed 
InvokeNonCopperZonesEditor() from the ZONE_CREATE_HELPER tool so I can 
see how this would be jarring for users that have been using that 
feature.  I'm going to wait until Orson responds to my original 
question.  If we are going to make a behavior change like this, I would 
like to understand why.  I see in the commit message that it states 
"Previously zone drawing tool was used to draw copper and graphical
polygons, but now there is a dedicated tool for that."  Does the polygon 
tool allow you to edit zones on non-copper layers or were zones on 
non-copper layers saved as polygons?  If the latter is the case then I'm 
guessing this change is not significant but if that is not the case then 
there could be some editing issues.
