Hey Orson, You should not be able to close the footprint viewer tool bar. I intentionally have the close button disabled. If you managed to close it, then there is a bug in wxWidgets. What platform and wxWidgets version where you using when this occurred? If I can duplicate it, I might be able to fix it. As I apply this to the other KiCad apps, I will add menu entries to show tool bars that have been closed. Unfortunately the footprint viewer does not have a menu so I may have to do something about that in the future if we want to be able to hide the tool bars. Thanks for the help with testing.
