… to browse between “Layer Display Option” presets freezes KiCad 8.0.6, release build in Mac OS 15…1.1 here regularly. Anyone else?
Probably not a problem later on as it isn’t a problem in 8.0.6-101-gff71b324a1, release build.
Update: Well, after a while the problem also occurs for the 8.0.6-101-gff71b324a1, release build in 15.1.1 … and also after a while also in the current 8.9.9
Conclusion. It’s not fixed. If this is even an issue
Anyone else?
I have a mac and could test this, but I don’t exactly understand your problem
Okay, I understood. I can’t reproduce this issue with KiCad 8.0.6 on Win11. I can test it in a few hours on my Mac
… Added to this also: when I reopened the project after this KiCad Freeze in the video my 2 Presets (JH1+JH2) were gone. Where did they travel?
… Today when using CTRL+TAB KiCad freezes about every time I use it (have to do a Force Quit) while some days it works well 20 times in a row. Hm.
Can’t replicate either of these issues on a MacBook M1 running Sequoia 15.1 and KiCad 8.0.6. Does this still persist after a restart?
Yes, after restart also. Then as mentioned it might work well for 20 times or more! Have you tried it really tough, over and over gain, restarting Kicad, doing it again and again and again? Then it may get back again – freeze. Very strange. I use an Intel machine, if that might matter.
Tried on two projects and multiple iterations through the Layer Display with Ctrl + Tab. Prob 30+ iterations each time with no issue.
Ok then it’s probably an issue only here, or try again tomorrow, this might be interesting. But of course boring. Here a feeling of not safe to use this function.
Tested it a few times again now. Out of 5 tests it took 1 or 2 CTRL+TAB to freeze 4 of them and one time it didn’t freeze at all (after more than 40 CTRL+TAB it still worked).
