Has someone gotten a crash when attempting to remove an unused net in the net inspector of the board editor by using the trashcan button in the dialog box?
If I click trashcan on net 1, 2, 4 or 5 in the screenshot below I get a popup with a question whether I really want to delete the net even if it is in use, but if I want to delete the net 3 GND it highlights net 4 and then in a second or two KiCad crashes completely, all windows including project manager.
Upon restarting KiCad it doesn’t even remember which project I worked on last, and when I open the project again in Board Editor, the last change I did before trying to remove the net, which was changing the net of the mounting hole PEGND1 on the right from GND to Earth protective (#5) is undone.
I’m not sure if this is specific to my project because there is something wrong with it, but I wouldn’t like KiCad to crash just like that anyway…
After that I opened one of my own projects and KiCad also crashes when deleting a net.
So I consider this confirmed and worthy of a bug report on Gitlab.
Also, for the next time:
Make your screen shots smaller. Never make them of maximized windows. I have a pretty big monitor with the same resolution as yours, but on a web page the browser still has to fit around it. It’s rarely useful to make screenshots wider than around 1200 pixels.

If I click yes on the question in the popup for net 1,2,4 and 5, it crashes too.
On 3 it crashes immediately because that net is not in use so it doesn’t ask.
I just didn’t try the other ones before, so I didn’t notice.
It doesn’t have to be my zipped project above either, I get the same if I open a random one (ecc83 v2) of the demo projects in /usr/share/kicad/demos and try to put any random net in the garbage can.
Gitlab issue #13377. Commit 20d7ffd5 by Seth Hillbrand about 13 minutes after the issue was entered in gitlab… Should be testable in tomorrows nightly build.
