Is this a known bug?
How would I attempt to be able to quickly find if this is a known bug?
It appears that if I attempt to draw only 1 arc, then save, everything is fine. However, it seems like attempting to draw a second arc, crashes KiCad into oblivion.
And, I am using a very old nightly.
Ah, one of the “Naughty Nightlies” 
Hiyas Bob,
I get it, I really do. However, I did “upgrade” to version 4.0.5 only to find it did not fix the issues that I had with 4.0.4 … There were a few bugs in .04 that were enough to prompt me to move to a nightly. Then, with these bugs still in .05, that prompted me to move back to using this nightly.
So, I have none of the earlier bugs, and the 2 bugs that I know of in my nightly I seem have workarounds for; and I have some extra features that I am making use of. Why would I go back?
I’m also right in the middle of a project, and I’m going to finish it before I try the .06 release that came out.
Thanks for the link. I knew there had to be an easier way to search the listings.
There is no going back!
Basically, if you are using a nightly for normal use, you are playing Minesweeper. Watch out for the BOOM!
If you use Nighlies, save frequently in case of crashes and keep snapshot backups because the worst case scenario is that a new bug corrupts the project data file somehow and you have to dump a days work. A rare situation, but it can happen
David,
This is exactly what I have been doing. But, until today I have not had a problem that crashed KiCad on my system nor lost data of any kind.
And, I use a specific nightly, not “nightlies”. I don’t work on the bleeding edge, I work on a nightly that has fewer bugs then the stable .05 version.
Which is why we keep repeating that novices should avoid Nightlies. The precautions needed are beyond many of them

Why would I want to introduce more bugs into my experience? … For which I have no workaround for?
