Bug Description
On the Kicad 4.7 version was very easy to change the active library in the Symbol Library Editor tool, in order to save a symbol from a library to another one. For example, I need to save some symbols from Kicad libraries to My_library, in order to work only with My_Library, because it is load and read very quickly by Kicad. In the last Kicad version is not possible to select the active library in Symbol Library Editor. Is this ok? In Footprint Editor it works.
Many thanks!
