Bug Description
See attached scrennshot - each footprint in library is doubled in tree view (and klicking one selects both).
I've got that yesterday just after installing KiCad 5.1 (Windows 7, 64bit). But later it disapeared.
Today I've tried to repeat it from begining but I didn't got that error. So I'm not able to describe how to get it.
Here is how I got it (as not repeatable it probably will not help a lot)
- unisntall KiCad
- delete kicad dir from C:\Users\
- install KiCad (only English and Polish help left, and installed not in 'C:\Program Files' but in my C:\Programy dir.
- make new Tmp dir in my D:\Mm\KiCad dir
- copy pic-programmer dir from C:\Programy\
- run KiCad
- File/Open Project (by default I was in Polish lanquage) and select pic_programmer.pro at D:
- run Footprint Editor
- accept standard setting to copy default lib tab
- here it worked very slowly (reading footprints) and I got window with some errors (don't know which, today I wonted to write them, but I didn't got them)
- then I got the tree view with footprints doubled,
- I have change the language to English,
- probably (this one point I'm not sure) I closed all KiCad windows and reopened them (it is because I noticed some time ago that after changing language menu was changed and dialog boxes not - don't know if it is still but habit left)
- I got attached scrennshot,
- it was working that way in all libs,
- I asked at forum if others see the same and was asked if I have an empty project opened,
- I opened (File|New) empty project and error disapeared and I could't get it again.
I know - it looks being not enough to find it but as I write some simple programs sometimes I think
that the author of the part of software showing that tree can probably imagine what conditions could lead to such display and than he (or someone else) can imagine how those conditions could come.
One more (connotation with bug I reported some time ago)...
During that process I was not asked if I wont graphic accelerated, but later I run PcbNew and was asked - so I really don't know in what toolset I was.
