I’ve found a reliable way to crash Pcbnew.
The steps are:
1). Open the attached project with KiCad.
2). Go to Eeschema.
3). [F8] & [Yes] to port the netlist & components to Pcbnew.
4). [Update PCB], [Update PCB], [Close].
5). Components are now in the upper left corner.
6). Drag a box around the components and try to move them as a block.
Edit:
If you want to try this, please state how many times you clicked on [Update PCB]. Clicking this multiple times in step 4 is critical to trigger the bug.
As soon as you try to move the block an Assertion failes with the text:
ASSERT INFO:
/build/kicad-PCtFts/kicad-5.1.0+dfsg1/common/base_struct.cpp(126): assert “false” failed in Clone(): Clone not implemented in derived class NETINFO_ITEM. Bad programmer!BACKTRACE:
[1] make_fcontext
On launchpad I found a bug that may be reated, but I’m not sure:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1793987
Before I file a bug report, I would like to know:
- Can others reproduce this (Other OS, nightly builds etc).
- Should I crate a new bug report, or attach it to the bug link above?asdf_3.zip (1.9 KB)
