2018-07-11 17:15:09 John Beard description In the GAL canvas, text sub-items of footprints cannot be deleted, either with the delete key, or the context menu. This is possible in Legacy and there is a menu item indicating this should work. Is this supposed to be possible, or should the menu item "Delete" be disabled in this case to indicate it is not?
