Thank you.

I notice that the "bad" component has Cyrillic letters in its name and the good one does not. Are you able to tell me if this bug appears for all components with Cyrillic? Also, could you share a library containing parts that do not display?

[Eldar Khayrullin (eldar)]

Yes, it is look as this happens with components with Cyrillic only.

[Eldar Khayrullin (eldar)]

I found another one broken with no Cyrillic:
conn-gost.lib: JTAG_SWD_20

Can you please paste the output of the 'locale' command?

Never mind, I was able to reproduce this bug. Thank you

[Chris Pavlina (pavlina-chris)]

Man, this is a weird bug. It looks like wx (even gtk maybe?) is just choosing not to fire paint events anymore...

[Chris Pavlina (pavlina-chris)]

Bug only occurs under Unity.

This bug may take a significant amount of time to fix, and I'm almost out of time for a few days. You may need to work around this by temporarily switching to GNOME (or to an older KiCad build) until I can get this worked out.

[Eldar Khayrullin (eldar)]

Ok

[Chris Pavlina (pavlina-chris)]

This is related to a misuse of wxWindow::Freeze() and wxWindow::Thaw(). Fix incoming.
