5.0.1 crash on PCBnew move components

[Alessandro Fabilli]

In Kicad 5.0.1 when I move the components (Move command) to PCBnew the program freezes and then stops. If I reinstall the version of Kicad version 5.0.0 or nightly earlier, it works fine.

Does it happen with any component? Can you try with a resistor (two connections) and a test pad (one connection)?

It looks like you are currently running an actual Windows 8.0 copy. Is that correct? Please note that MS has discontinued all support for 8.0 and requires all users upgrade to 8.1 (build 9600)[1] to receive bug fixes and updates. Note that this is tangential to your bug report.

[Nick Østergaard (nickoe)]

could you try the latest build named 5.0.1_3

[Nick Østergaard (nickoe)]

@Seth, the windows version reported is a windows quirk, and is expected. I think this has been fixed in wxwidgets master.

[Alessandro Fabilli (o-alessandro)]

My OS version is Win 10 home. When I have insert the bug I notated that
in the report(Help->About->Copy versione info) had been inserted win 8.

I tryed whit resistor (two pin), one or more resistors toghetar and I
tryed whit chip whit 8 pins.
Program stop and then crash.

Yes I can. Where I download this version ?

I tried with another PC (more recent) and the problem still occurs. After I have moved 4/5 resistors, the program stops and then crash.
In this PC I have Windows 10 pro.

Just download it from http://kicad-pcb.org/download/windows/

[Wayne Stambaugh (stambaughw)]

I cannot duplicate this with 5.0.1-3 from the KiCad website not matter what combinations of objects I move. I used the accelerated modern canvas to do my testing. Could this possible be a video driver issue?

[Alessandro Fabilli (o-alessandro)]

You must use version 5.0.1-1 released on October 14th.
Perhaps the mistake was made by who runs the website? The title says
that 5.0.1 is available and not 5.0.1-1 or 5.0.1-3 !!!

Now I try the Kicad version 5.0.1-3, and work fine. But whit the lasy
uffical versione 5.0.1 the program stop and crash

Thank you for reporting back. We'll look at ways to communicate build updates when they are posted to the website.

[Nick Østergaard (nickoe)]

There is no real difference between builds. I suspect you won't see the issue if you install your previous dowloaded installer.

[Alessandro Fabilli (o-alessandro)]

Sorry but the problem persit. I installed 5.0.1_3 version on my home PC
(whit windows 10 home) and when I try to move a component the programm
stop.
It's true tha my home PC is old but if I reinstall the Kicad version
5.0.0 the programm work fine.
I maked the test whit the same project and the same library.

@Alessandro-

Can you try a nightly build and see if you have the same issue? This will not require changing your project

@Seth

I can try tomorrow, then I'll let you know the result.

Sorry for the delay. I performed the test with the nightly version on
the link below, but after moving 10/15 components the programm stop and
not resume. I did the test with my best performing PC with Windows 10 Pro.

@Alessandro- Thanks for testing.

Can you open your windows event log and copy the message given when KiCad quits?

[Seth Hillbrand (sethh)]

@Alessandro- A couple more questions:

1) Which toolset are you using (Under Preferences)
2) Are you running pcbnew standalone or launching from inside the KiCad application?

[Alessandro Fabilli (o-alessandro)]

@Seth - the answers at your asks:

1) I did the test with both the legacy (F9) and fallback (F12) toolset,
whit same result
2) I've always run PCBnew from KiCad

If you need more evidence I'm available

[Seth Hillbrand (sethh)]

@Alessandro- When you move the component, does KiCad stop responding, wait for a time and then close? Or does it close immediately?

[Seth Hillbrand (sethh)]

Also, does it turn grey or change in appearance at all?

[Alessandro Fabilli (o-alessandro)]

@Seth

Wait for a time and then close

Turn grey and in the title is added at the end of the path (not responding)

Ok! Thanks. About how long would you say it freezes?

[Konstantinos Halakatevakis (kosthala)]

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem as Alessandro.
To me, it happens almost instantly after a minute or so.
It is so frequently happening, that i had to revert back to version 5.0.0.
When this happens, the program freezes forever and i have to kill it manually.
I'm on Windows 10 Pro 64.
For your info, i have used both versions 5.0.1_1 and 5.0.1_3

[Seth Hillbrand (sethh)]

@Konstantin- Does this happen also when moving or during other operations as well?

[Seth Hillbrand (sethh)]

I am thinking that this issue may be the same as lp:1795951

I've pushed a commit to the master branch that I hope addresses this.

Note that because I am unable to reproduce, this is more of a shot in the dark. Would you please test tomorrow's (Oct 25) nightly build to see if it works better for you?

http://downloads.kicad-pcb.org/windows/nightly/

[Konstantinos Halakatevakis (kosthala)]

It happens only when moving. I think also (but i'm not sure) that it happened once when i moved a via.

[Alessandro Fabilli (o-alessandro)]

@Seth

It depends on the performance of the PC. What I have at work is more
performed and after 30 seconds the program crash , the one I use at home
after 2/3 minutes

[Konstantinos Halakatevakis (kosthala)]

I have downloaded the Oct 25 nightly build.
This time the program freezes when i move a component almost instantly (after 5 seconds!).
Something else that i have noticed, is that when the program freezes, the cpu usage is about 50%.
In the previous versions it was almost 0%.

OK. Thanks for testing! At least we know that we're in the right area.

I've had another go at it.

If you get a chance, can you test the Oct 26 (or later) build from http://downloads.kicad-pcb.org/windows/nightly/ when it is released tomorrow?

[Konstantinos Halakatevakis (kosthala)]

I have downloaded again the latest nightly version.
This time the component movement has become very "heavy" and the program freezes again after a few seconds.
I don't know if this has to do with my computer - i have an intel core duo 3.16MHz and 8 gb ram.

[Harry van der Schans (ironpro)]

Hi , i have the same problem.
Computer is AMD with 8.1 enterprice, latest updates.
Kicad 5.0.1.-3
When you select the component , you can do F,R , no problem , but when you hit the (M)ove button you are in trouble.
The best thing is , that when you select the component with your left mouse knob you can move it, you can do everything so far, but DON’T use the M button (!).

[Seth Hillbrand (sethh)]

I suspect that this has been addressed as a part of lp:1800339

Can you download the version from http://downloads.kicad-pcb.org/windows/testing/new_toolchain/ and see if that resolves your issue?

[Konstantinos Halakatevakis (kosthala)]

This time the program refuses to start with messages libpsl-5.dll, libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll are missing.

[Wayne Stambaugh (stambaughw)]

Did the fix for lp:1800339 resolve this issue?

[Nick Østergaard (nickoe)]

Please retest on latest nightly build.

[Konstantinos Halakatevakis (kosthala)]

I will try it next week, I'm not at home right now

[Alessandro Fabilli (o-alessandro)]

I tried with my old pc, with pentium and windows 10. Now work, I have
moved the components, single and multiple, and I slided the window
during the move. The program does not stop. I did the test in "legacy
toolset" mode. I have to finish a board, I will continue to test.

I noticed in the nightly of 03-Nov-2018 a small display defect: with the
pointer tool holding down the right button and moving the mouse, I do
not see the selection rectangle.
If you can report it to whoever is dealing with it.

[Seth Hillbrand (sethh)]

Looks like fix committed by the build env for Alessandro. @Konstantin- If you are still having issues, we can re-open.

[Konstantinos Halakatevakis (kosthala)]

I have tried the latest nightly version (6-Nov-2018).
Everything is OK.

[Rogier Lodewijks (rogier-f)]

Noticed the crashing/freezing problem as well: it is very easy to freeze PCBnew 5.0.1-3 just by moving parts.

What I also noticed -and what might be related (?)- is that it is now really slow to move parts, especially when using the mouse (?!). When moving parts using the keyboard the update rate seems fine. Also the update rate/sluggishness seems to get worse when the grid is set smaller.

Tested using the OpenGL renderer (but also other renderers are really slooow) on an empty board with just one component. Overall update performance seems ok, for instance zooming goes really fast (as I was used to).

Just updated to 10-11-2018 nightly (kicad-r11783.acfa13c03-x86_64.exe) and the slow-move-problem persists! No crashing anymore though.

@Rogier-

Are you able to make a video of the slow move behavior in the nightly? I would greatly appreciate seeing the Task Manager processes tab, sorted by CPU usage at the same time as moving.

I may having similar issue.
Please check this link for steps that I think it can be repeatable:

Please stop using (5.0.1)-3, use (5.0.1)-4.

It also happens on 5.0.1-4 but just take a little more move and zoom operation before it reach hanging point.

(Clarify) I cannot make 6.0.0-rc1-1229 hang at all.
