Segmentation Fault when trying to add text to PCB

Layout
1

HI,

I try to add text to my PCB board and I am getting a segmentation faut.

segfault at 2000000b4 ip 00007f4ffc844713 sp 00007ffea3d5a900 error 4 in _pcbnew.kiface[7f4ffc452000+1100000]

This was working and now it doesn’t. I click on the place text icon and Kicad crashes.

This user forum isn’t usually the best place for bug reports, especially for crashing nightly builds which you seem to be using. Use https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad.

Thank You, that is what I was looking for. I assumed it was a bug because of the nightly build but just wanted to ask to be sure it wasn’t something I was doing.

I will report the bug.

Nightly build or not, a segmentation fault or other kind of crash is always a serious bug.
