The UI for it is clunky (Cancel afterwards doesn't do what
you think it might), the undo code is all hand-rolled (and
possibly buggy?), and we have the Property Inspector now
for this type of stuff.
1) improve spacing in copper zone properties.
2) improve spacing and naming in dielectric material properties.
3) clearer naming in board setup > constraints.
4) remove over-exuberant stretching in board setup > mask & paste.
* Changed the net sorting mechanism make it similar to the 'Net Inspector' window
* Replaced the 'Show All Nets' check box with 'Hide auto-generated nets' check box
* Replace the warning label with wxInfoBar
* Removed unused controls and renamed controls where applicable
* Re-arranged the Copper Zone Properties dialog layout to improve user experience
* Minor code refactoring of DIALOG_COPPER_ZONE class
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/8547
1 - For debug purposes, the code to fill non copper zones was disabled and the copper zone code was uses instead.
It creates issues with pad clearance areas, because a non copper zone has no clearance areas.
2 - The non copper zone dialog had no option to set the outline smoothing option.
Unfortunately, this parameter was inherited from the last edited copper zone.
And therefore the non copper zone can have a non wanted outline smoothing option.
This option is now added to the dialog.

the filled areas can use a hatch pattern (crossing lines) using square holes.
The zone filler removes too small holes (truncated holes) from hatch pattern.
It avoid to create small holes when a hole pattern is truncated by the filled area base shape.
If checkboxes don't have individual IDs FormBuilder won't assign
them and the event table ends up connecting each checkbox to all
of the checkbox handlers in the dialog.
Fixes: lp:1801746

Drop all uses of wxRAISED_BORDER and wxSUNKEN_BORDER from dialogs and
panels used in main frame windows.
Drop use of wxSP_3DSASH options on all wxSplitterWindow definitions.
Minor dialog alignment and spacing fixes.
Also includes a bunch of changes to simplifiy the terminology
and unify the copper, non-copper and keepout versions.
Also removes some legacy features:
Removes contol for fill method. If the fill method is currently
segments the dialog will ask if you want to convert to polygons
on OK.
Removes control of boundary resolution. We've done this with trig
since 5.0.
(cherry picked from commit 487aaeb)
Improve dialog layout and fix UI policy issues with all of the dialog
boxes in the Gerbview and Pcbnew code paths.
Updated the use of component to footprint where appropriate.
This patch enables math expression evaluation for most of the text input
controls in pcbnew.
NEW: pcbnew text input controls are able to evaluate simple
mathematical expressions, including distance units (e.g. 5.0+(2*1.2mm)).
* Dialog copper zones: Always enable thermal shape settings, because even with no thermal, some pads can use thermal option in local pad settings.
* GAL mode: shows page limits in gray color, like in legacy mode, and according to comments in sources.
File "rules" has instructional text as comments near top.
2) Convert all text files in repo to LF line ending form.
Any checkout done with "rules" in play will convert the working
tree to native line ending, while keeping repo as LF line ending.
