Bug Description

Very simply ModEdit refuses to export the footptint being edited.
The File/Export/export footprint ... menu is always disabled

Step 1, open a PCB already done, select a footprint, edit it, export it (if you can ...).

The only solution is to browse libraries tree, find the library associated with the pcb under construction, select the footprint and with the right mouse button select export ...
I'm not sure this method will save any changes made ..

P.S.

Also here the sub menus present the visualization problems related to wxgtk previously reported on PCBnew (they appear as a line),
