Hi Tom, hi Jeff,

I observed some minor issues (tested on Linux with GTK3):
- buses and graphic lines always have the same colour as wires
- symbol outlines/pins are not drawn correctly (see attached screenshot)
- zoom level is not limited (22 was a reasonable upper value for 
Eeschema in my opinion)
- right mouse click doesn't always work (it seems to me that the context 
menu appears and almost immediately disappears in about 50% of cases)
- the "small crosshair" is rather big (80 pixels instead of 24 pixels)
- the crosshair is never centered at the position of the mouse cursor in 
Y direction (X direction is OK, see attached screenshot)
- global and hierarchical labels only consist of text
- adding bitmaps to the schematic does not work (the file selector 
appears again when trying to place the bitmap that was selected before)
- editing bitmaps (mirror, rotate, etc.) doesn't work as expected, the 
transformation is only applied after closing and reopening Eeschema

Also, I need to set the graphics acceleration to "Supersampling (4x)" to 
get an acceptable display quality, which unfortunately causes Eeschema 
to be rather slow. But that may just be an issue with my old computer 
(Thinkpad T420s).

Other than that, the new implementation looks very promising!

Best regards,
Marcus
