Kicad crashing when selecting footprint on Symbol Properties window.

[Leandro Heck]

How to reproduce:

1 - Add any random text in the footprint field. For example, an old footprint name that is not on the libraries.

2 - Click the library symbol to select the footprint from the library.

Crash!

Could you try to add a backtrace?

[Nick Østergaard (nickoe)]

Most of that is not really that relevant, the relevant parts appear when you write bt i the console. Only the last stack frame is shown in the above.

[Jeff Young (jeyjey)]

@Leandro & @Nick, no worries. It's easy enough to reproduce. I'll get on it.
