Hi Michael,

For feedback, the mailing list is good for be: the layer stack manager
is still a moving target.

For bugs, of course, a bug report is better.

About macOS:

I tested the Layer Stack Manager on W7 and Linux Kubuntu 18.04/KDE.
But I am unable to test it on macOS.
So I am expecting macOS guys will be able to fix these specific issues.

To answer your question about using wxGrid:
I agree wxGrid should be better, but unfortunately it does not works fine:
I used it is the first version, but I had so many issues (after spending
too many time to try to fix them) (read: having a barely usable dialog)
I gave up and replaced it by a wxFlexGridSizer.
The main advantage of a wxFlexGridSizer is: it works.

Perhaps other commercial EDA tools use a grid control, but perhaps not a
wxGrid.
