Segfault in library editor when creating alternate symbol

[pipe]

I made a component in the schematic library editor. I decided that I want a variation of it, so I opened up the component properties and checked the "Has alternate symbol (DeMorgan)" option.

When I did that it asks if it should "Add new pins for alternate body style". I would very much like that so I answered "Yes". This causes the schematic library editor to crash with a segfault.

Here is the backtrace of the segmentation fault.

I can not readily reproduce it with a simple component with only one pin, so here's the component library I'm trying to perform this operation on.

Is this bug repeatable every time? We have been chasing a segfault bug
in the component library editor for a long time but no one seems to be
able to repeat it. I'm hoping this time we can finally figure out whats
going on.

Yes, this happens every time. I've included a screen capture to illustrate exactly what I'm doing.

I confirmed the segfaul but this only happens when Eeschema is run in the stand alone mode. The segfault doesn't occur when Eeschema is launched from KiCad. Thanks for the great bug report.

For me, this happens regardless of the way I start it, but if you can reproduce it in one place that's great. If a fix for that becomes available, I can test it again and see if it still breaks for me.

[Wayne Stambaugh (stambaughw)]

I committed a fix for this in the product branch r6571. Please test this when you get a chance and let me know if it resolves your issue.

[pipe (pipatron)]

Yep, that fixed it! Thanks!
