Yes.. GAL is fine, I expect it might be, that old canvas mouse events
active the commands on mouse down, where as GAL is
on mouse up, which I think is much better as you can cancel/escape, the
mouse events in GAL where as you can't in old canvas
So there may be a mouse race event if the old code is looking at mouse
down, and mouse up, Just a SWAG there thou.
 Any way it's not really to worrying about... I just like to see version
4 to be polished release.
I would work on my self, but I'm fixing the eagle import in pcbnew for
REFACE and VALUE which is not correct.
