Bug Description
I am having an issue where KiCad freezes entirely when attempting to create a footprint. When I try to create a footprint, the window will launch and before I can interact with it, it freezes. This locks KiCad entirely, and I have to force close the application. I can work just fine on Layouts and Pcbnew works as well. This is my KiCad version info.

Hi Christopher-
We are very close to releasing v5.1. Would you try the latest nightly build from https:/ /kicad- downloads. s3.cern. ch/index. html?prefix= windows/ nightly/ and see if the issue remains for you?
