Bug Description

This affects dialogs with the grids:

* Configure Paths
* Edit Library Tables (eeschema and pcbnew)

Steps:

1) Open dialog
2) Enter a grid cell editor (double click)
3) Press "Cancel"
4) Nothing happens

This seems similar to 75406e274 (fixes https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1816636)

I have done an equivalent fix to 75406e274 here. But is there a way to make the cancel event work properly? The OK event seems to work.

@John, your patch appears to resolve the issue so I'm fine with merging it. I'm not sure why the cancel button does not work when a grid cell is being edited. It only happens when wxGrid is in play so my guess would be that wxGrid is intercepting the cancel event but why it would be that way doesn't make sense to me.

In GRID_TRICKS, we could catch wxEVT_COMMAND_BUTTON_CLICKED from the parent window and maybe exit the grid editor when that happens? (Spitballing here)

Here's a patch that should address this.

We had set the escape id to allow the 'Esc' key to exit the editor without closing the window. But we need to handle the case where the button is clicked instead as the editor doesn't exit first.

This patch works for me on some other dialogs (Footprint Properties in PCBNew and ModEdit) with the same issue.
