Hi Carl,

Thanks for the report. As the error does not occur on every PCB, please
send me the file that crashes pcbnew - I would like to investigate the
problem further. Does it happen regularly or was it a single case?

Regards,
Orson

Thanks, Orson.

I can't reproduce this issue, but I have some others -both on Window and
Linux):

- when opengl is on, moving a footprint (m command), and then cancel the
move (escape command) crashes pcbnew.

- I can't compile the automatically created pcbnew_wrap.cxx with
KICAD_SCRIPTING=ON
This is also true for ~cern-kicad/kicad/netnames branch, so i am
thinking ~cern-kicad/kicad/drawing_tool already uses netnames changes
(which does not create any serious issue, but python compatibility)

Other issues, but not related to this kicad branch:
- An issue in P&S router: it allows tracks between not connected pads
(i.e. netcode = 0)

- and other issue: P&S router does not know the board edges.

- Ratsnet issue: when opengl is on, there is an issue relative to the
ratsnest which does not detect some connections made by copper zones,
and shows (erroneously) some missing connections (for instance in the
demo pic_programmer shows this issue)

Great work!

Thank you for reporting the issues. It seems that the branch still needs some work before it is fully usable. I will fix the problems as soon as possible.

Regards,
Orson
