Bug Description

Twice while using the 5.0.1 release for Windows 10 64-bit, I've seen Pcbnew hang. Both times, I was moving parts onto the board area from off the board, and I was zooming out of the region where the part was and into the region where it was to go. Just as I got closely zoomed in, Pcbnew stalled and gave a spinning wheel that didn't stop spinning in the 20 minutes given. The first hang happened after an hour or so, while the second one happened after 4-5 hours. I've used it for at least 6 hours since without issue. It's possible that I was in Fallback mode the entire time when it hung, and have been in Accelerated mode since.

I installed 5.0.1 over my previous 5.0-rc3.
