These are l;ikely related to the Java Gui library differences between Linux and Windows, I have no idea what you see in OSX, would assume closer to Linux

  1. On startup, first step is to pick a serial link from the dropdown menu. In Win7, COM3 appears and is easily selectable. In Linux, /dev/ttyUSB0 appears, but it is tough to select it, the mouse pointer will only turn the background blue (I think) in select areas within the tab. You just have to keep trying. I would suspect OSX is similar device name as Linux; see this there?
  2. On Win7, when loading a GCode file, the File Chooser dialog that is displayed is somewhat different from the Win7 File Manager (Win calls it Explorer) dialog window.
    This is likely due to the way Java connects to the WinAPI for file choosing.
    Best way to reproduce/compare:
    step 1 - Open Windows
    step 2 - Start tgFX
    step 3 - Start JCNC

Perform a File-Open on tgFX and JCNC, compare dialog GUIs
I sort of assumed JCNC was Java, perhaps it is python, JS or native C++
