Columns move to incorrect places in eeschema field editor

[Connor Crenshaw]

Moving a column to the left in the eeschema field editor puts the column in a different place than shown by the blue line. See video below (also shows LP#1796396). Self-compiled kicad 9e828e0d9428a8cdef0942de18056ed3314a49ea on linux mint 18.

This is a wxWidgets bug (https://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/16110).

A work-around is to show all columns, do your re-ordering, and then hide the ones you don't want again.

(BTW, the "Won't Fix" just means we won't fix it in Kicad. It has been fixed in wxWidgets, so it will end up fixed for us once we update our wxWidgets version. That's a big job, though, and is as-yet unscheduled.)

[Jeff Young (jeyjey)]

I was able to patch around this (the bug is only when native headers are used, so I turned them off).
