Just had another “Assertion Failed” in KiCad V5.0.2.
I started to do a bit of testing to trigger it again, and I managed to trigger it a 2nd time,but after that I could not reproduce it anymore.
What (I think) I did:
1). Open Symbol Library editor.
2). Right click on a library name and click on “Save library as”.
ASSERT INFO:

Edit:
Trying to reproduce:
1). Close KiCad Completely, and start it.
2). Start Eeschema from the KiCad project manager.
3). Hover over a symbol and press [Ctrl+e]
4). Right click on a random library, I chose “Amplifier_Current” this time.
5). Click “Save Library As…” from the popup menu.
1234567_Amplifier_Current.lib
I find it hard to think what I did exactly.
I think that when it “works” the library is just saved under the new name, but the new library is not added to the lib table.
I think just before the assertion failed I got a question wheter to add the new library to the table. The question popped op without me triggering it.
It’s hard to remember because I do not use KiCad enough to separate “normal” from “abnormal” behaviour from memory.
