Re: wxGrid boolean changes

 

I gave it a try and there is some strange behavior on Linux :-(
Clicks on the checkboxes seem to sometimes get handled twice so the box
quickly toggles between states.
So, I don't think it should be merged as-is.

Can you guys confirm that the behavior is good from my version (as
implemented in the footprint wizard parameters table) on Mac/Windows?
If so, I will work on a general solution based on that which can be used
with the GRID_TRICKS mixin.
