Comment 8 for bug 1767848

Hello!

First of all, KiCAD is a great piece of software. Thanks for it and keep up the good work!
I have been doing some project with it already and it worked a treat.
So, I want to contribute a little bit as well, and that's why I signed up here. Just to report this error under similar conditions as well.
It's my first post and I hope it's ok to post it under here.

The same behavior happens to me when I start typing "ze" (in search for an ZEner diode).
If I have all libs enabled, the "Choose Symbol" dialog shows ZXCT1009F first (after "z") and then (after typing "e") shows ZETA-433-SO in the symbol list.
But the details and the symbol preview are still stuck with ZXCT1009F and KiCAD hangs.

I also tried with only the relevant lib "RF_AM_FM" enabled and it seems to work at first. However, if I then use the up-/down-keys to go to the lib group, the preview is disabled and if I want to go back down onto ZETA-433-SO, it hangs again.

It's consistent and repeatable across several nightly builds that I had over time.

Hopefully this might help in finding a problem.
