Comment 8 for bug 1817232

Correct, those items were just some possibilities I mentioned based on thinking about the frustration shared in the video. It wasn't my original request.

Now that the dialog is implemented (version below) let me share what I originally had in my head but may not have communicated well when I submitted this suggestion: The pane just under the board canvas in Pcbnew shows Pads, Vias, Track Segments, etc. and has a fixed location. What if the Board Statistics dialog captured all of this information and then allowed a taller board canvas?

Pad and Via counts are already duplicated and adding Track Segments and Net/Node info into the Board Statistics dialog shouldn't be tough. While I can see the value in have Unrouted Segments visible all the time, I also see compelling value in having (a little) more of the board visible.

Viewing all statistics in the dialog to get more visible board area seems like a worthwhile thing to explore, even if it's a user option and defaults to the fixed pane below the canvas as it is now. Maybe a further refinement to this concept?
