pcbnew: crash on right click on empty space

[NhatKhai]

PCBNEW Crash on my project board when I right click on empty space inside the board cut-edge (where no traces, but there is a fill (regardless of turn on/off the fill). But it is not crash if I right click out-side of the board cut-edge.

I cannot duplicate this on windows 10. Does this happen with every board or is specific to a single board? If it's a single board, would it be possible for you to post the board that causes the issue?

I also see this is windows 7 which seem to have a very high incidence of crash reports. I wonder if there is a library that we are shipping in our windows installer that is not compatible with w7.

[NhatKhai (nhatkhai)]

What if I can get a debug version of Kicad to obtain a full report of crash?

[Wayne Stambaugh (stambaughw)]

That would be even better. I don't think we provide debug builds for 5.0.2.

[Nick Østergaard (nickoe)]

Is this the official build?

Does it happen for any board file? If not, please provide a test board.

[NhatKhai (nhatkhai)]

I download this from http://downloads.kicad-pcb.org/windows/stable/kicad-5.0.2_1-x86_64.exe

I'm sorry that I cannot share the file, and I'm did not save the image of the board. I was continue edit it using 4.0.7 versions. Then try back again with 5.0.2 - It now not crash. So it is not happens to any board.

If I come across this again, I will let save the version of my board, and test it for you. So if you have special debug build for more informative on the crash, I will happy to try it with.

I can confirm that behavior.
In the attached layout, a right click on the ground zone causes Pcbnew to crash.
The ground zone has the same size as the board.
It does not crash when the B.Cu layer is hidden.
