KiCad crashing when selecting footprint on Footprint Editor. Load footprint from library, Select by Browser on the second time.

[Alexey]

In footprint editor choose "Load footprint from library" > "Select by Browser"
If the action performed first time everything works fine. On the second time it crashes KiCad.

Windows 8.1
KiCad 5.0.2_1 x86_64
KiCad 5.0.2_2 x86_64
KiCad 5.0.2_3 x86_64

(I'm not a KiCad developer.)

This doesn't happen for me with 5.0.2 flatpak package on Kubuntu. 5.1 will have different UI, there's no "Load footprint from library", so this is hardly relevant for 5.1. Can you test nightly builds and see if there's anything which could be affected?

Please include your kicad version information. The package information you provided is not the same thing.

@Alexey- Can you please try with an official release from the KiCad website?

Thank you for checking. Can you try with one of the nightly Windows builds? We are very close to releasing version 5.1, so 5.0.2 will not receive bug fixes at this point. If this is reproducible with v5.1, we can try to track down the issue.

[Alexey (gav-9)]

Now I can get the same by Pcbnew->Open in Footprint Editor. On the second time it also crashes...

Unfortunatelly my Windows has only russian language, but may be this crash report will help:

[Seth Hillbrand (sethh)]

This does help, thank you. The issue is with your intel graphics driver. Please update it from Microsoft and/or intel.

[Jeff Young (jeyjey)]

@Seth, is there something for us to do here, or should we close this one?

[Seth Hillbrand (sethh)]

I think we close this one. I was hoping that Alexey could let us know whether updating solved his issue.

Oddly, despite this crashing inside the Intel driver dll, I have some suspicion that this may have been solved in KiCad by separating the OpenGL shader contexts. That is, the driver should have been able to handle reloading the shader from a different context but if it didn't, it may have crashed before and shouldn't now.

[Alexey (gav-9)]

As I wrote before 5.1.0-rc1-81-g27b4f2fbe crashes. But this bug is only on my ASUS x553ma laptop and it has no opportunity to reinstall video driver. I've tried to install KiCad on 3 other PCs with Windows 10 and iMac. There is no bug on nightly build and official release. The only thing I've found - 3dviewer on MacOS shows grey screen in fullscreen mode, window mode works as expected.
I'll try to reinstall latest night build and let you know the results.

[Seth Hillbrand (sethh)]

Thanks Alexey.

You can also try with a new (2/26 or newer) nightly build on your ASUS laptop. If I'm right, the new nightly build handles the driver differently and may prevent crashes.

[Alexey (gav-9)]

I've just installed the latest version. Bug is fixed. Thanks.
