Hi Jon,

I cannot recreate the bug, do you mind adding some details? Does it 
happen every time? If not, are there any repeatable steps to reproduce 
the error? Does it crash afterwards or you are still able to edit the 
footpritn? Did you edit an existing module or created a new one? Which 
wxWidgets version do you use?
By the way, the segmentation fault when pcbnew is run from the launcher 
should be already fixed.

Regards,
Orson
