Attached, please find my complete system info file from Windows.

The system has Intel HD graphics 530 and Nvidia GTX960M. I have permanently switched to Modern Accelerated. I have never used 3D viewer. Should I?

When I have had issues it was from eeschema (PCBNew not opened). I just tried with PCBNew opened and when I edit the component in eeschema, click through the library browser, double click to select the component (i.e. a 16 pin header), the error gets flagged and Kicad dies and has to be closed from the Task Manager. 

I have a small project where this is completely reproducible.

What can I do to help?

This morning I downloaded the latest nightly.

Subject: [Bug 1747546] Re: Fatal crash eeSchema V5 assigning footprint

Does pcbnew work well for you when running in modern/OpenGL mode? Could you try opening a board design, 3D viewer and footprint editor at the same time?

Also, what is your video card?

  When editing a specific component (resistor) to assign a footprint, if
  I browse footprints, select R_1206 handsoldering and double click or
  select "Insert Footprint in board" the footprint browser would crash
  and throw error "Error unmapping vertices buffer:invalid operation".

  After this, the browser would hang and all KiCad windows would no
  longer function until all were killed via Task Manager.

  This happened eveyr time I tried it until I decided to use CVPCB to
  assign the footprint. After that the error was thrown once then
  disappeared and even new parts would not cause a problem.

  This was a file imported from V4 if that matters.
