Bug Description
I just updated my build of KiCad. I started up the main KiCad dialog. When I click on icon for any of the main programs (except the icons for Import Bitmap or PCB Calculator) I get an assertion message. I have to click the Continue button before the program I selected will start. The assertion message appears every time. You don't need to exit KiCad and restart it to see the assertion again.
I have attached a copy of the assertion and backtrace as captured by KiCad.

Well, that's interesting. Anyone else seeing this?
The default style of the window was recently changed to make scrollbars always-on, something we used to do later in the constructor but doing it later doesn't work on Mac or Windows*. But it's a style wxWidgets supports, so it shouldn't assert on it.
* Note that doing it earlier doesn't work terribly well /either/ on Windows, but it is effective on Mac. The joys of wxWidgets.
