Assign Net Class bug in PCBNew

Is anyone else having issues assigning net net classes in PCBnew? The dropdown menus in Board Setup > Design Rules > Net Classes > Assign Net Class are giving me issues, in that I am unable to select any of their options when they drop down and immediately hide themselves. I have demonstrated the issue in a screen capture here: https://youtu.be/NIl5qXHjatk

Include your full version info from help->about kicad->copy version info

Wow! Super fast reply.

It looks like my video didn’t work, as windows didn’t record the pop-up where the error occurs. In any case, it occurs in this window:

When I click on the “New net class” dropdown on the bottom, the dropdown disappears before I can click anything. I am running this on Windows 10.

It has happened to me, and seems to happen right now. You should be able to change the item with keyboard up/down arrows after you have once clicked on it with the mouse.

Read carefully…

The arrow key workaround seems to work for now, so thanks for that @eelik! I was able to use this feature properly in past builds of KiCAD, so it looks like this may have been broken in the most recent build.
