Hi zhqsoft,

Could you extend the report? Please add the version information copied from the Help->About menu.
Does moving any footprint freezes pcbnew for you? If not, could you provide a sample file that demonstrates the problem?

I am Chinese, and there may be differences in language translation. A video demo file is uploaded. The previous version of this problem has appeared. Later it was repaired, and the problem came again after the version of "kicad-r9999.05dae9627". It has a great impact on the PCB layout. The version of kicad used in this video is "kicad-r10603.101b68b61".

What hardware are you using (cpu, gpu, ram)?

What is the cpu load shown in the task manager when you get the problem?

I can recreate this with my machine and a decent complexity board.

Hi zhqsoft- Can you test whether the behavior is fixed in a current nightly build? I believe that we have addressed this (at least I can no longer re-create the issue)
