This could be a bug, but likely to be caused by some text on your pcb on copper or silk. Are you able to share your kicad pcb file? That will make it much easier to dissect the issue.

I don’t think this stage can be disabled by itself in 5.1.9 nor do I think it would be a good idea.

I suppose you mean “getting stuck”. But does it mean it’s slow or that the DRC check doesn’t get completed at all but is stuck hanging in that step? Either way, +1 for Nick who wanted to see the .kicad_pcb file.
