with this project attached:
PWT.zip (109.8 KB)

could anyone confirm?

is it possible to switch back to V9.0.4 with ubuntu?

P.S.
this could be possibly related to the ‘Interactive routing settings’ → ‘Highlight collisions → allow drc violations’ mode.

Using ‘walk around’ mode seems more stable.

On W11, no crashes, but I do get routing startpoint violates DRC on the left footprint

This should be fixed in post-9.0.5 testing builds if you can use those (flatpak?)
