Hello,
I’m using the nightlies (just compiled a new one), but I’ve had this issue for the past week or so.
When I run anything that invokes the 3D viewer “subsystem”, KiCad crashes.
Here’s a backtrace of the issue…I start kicad, load a PCB and start the 3D viewer:
(kicad:40703): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 11:07:03.996: gtk_box_gadget_distribute: assertion 'size >= 0' failed in GtkNotebook
(kicad:40703): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 11:07:04.003: gtk_box_gadget_distribute: assertion 'size >= 0' failed in GtkScrollbar
(kicad:40703): Gdk-ERROR **: 11:07:04.129: The program 'kicad' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
(Details: serial 158874 error_code 2 request_code 151 (GLX) minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Thread 1 "kicad" received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.

I don’t know how to follow the instructions about breaking on gdk_x_error() , so if that would help, I would need a little guidance on how to enable that, but otherwise, I’m not sure where to start looking to get to the bottom of a GDK issue like this…
Thanks!
