Bug Description
The Path Substitutions section of the library setup dialog contains the key/value pairs of the env vars. Column A is the env var name and column B is the env var value. See the screenshot in the next post for clarity about one place in the UI where this happens for the footprint library (the schematic libraries have a similar dialog and possibly there are others).
Naming columns "A" and "B" seems like a placeholder or oversight. Wouldn't "Key"/"Value" or "Name"/"Value" be more salient column names?

That's a case of being way too close to the code base. Has it always been this way and if so how did that get missed?
