@Jeff, I am painfully aware of the wxWidgets packaging issues. To be fair to our packagers, this bug fix should have been applied to the 3.0 branch so it would be in 3.0.5 when it becomes available instead of having to use a development version (3.1) of wxwidgets. I'm not 100% sure how window builds are created but I'm guessing that we are using msys2/mingw(32/64) dependency packages as supplied (that's what use to build kicad on windows) although I could be wrong. So cloning our kicad/wxwidgets repo would require a significant change in how the windows builders are set up. The msys2 project already patches wxwidgets 3.0.4 so I guess I could submit this patch (assuming it applies cleanly) to the msys2 project to fix this issue. I will take a look at that solution over the weekend since I will be hunkered down as hurricane Florence passes by closer than I would like.
