Hi there,

I done some tests, including a full system wipe and the behavior is still
the same. I tried to compile 096d9f & c70adc and I got similar results.

In the attachments you can find two video: the kicad_bug one was done with
096d9f while the kicad_working one was done on 7034ea.

Cheers,
Carlo
