Hi, I'm failing to find this issue in the bug tracker, so please let me
know if its already reported. If not I can report it.

Every time I launch pcbnew with a plugin in /home/marcos/.kicad_plugins/ it
immediately crashes. It starts normally if I remove .kicad_plugins. This is
the plugin that makes it crash:
https://github.com/openscopeproject/InteractiveHtmlBom, its quite a popular
one.

I'm running ubuntu 18.04 (actually, its a https://neon.kde.org/) so its
using gtk3 afaik.

Application: kicad
Version: 5.1.0-rc1-unknown-5072298~84~ubuntu18.04.1, release build
Libraries:
    wxWidgets 3.0.4
    libcurl/7.58.0 OpenSSL/1.1.0g zlib/1.2.11 libidn2/2.0.4 libpsl/0.19.1

    Compiler: GCC 7.3.0 with C++ ABI 1011

    BUILD_GITHUB_PLUGIN=ON
    KICAD_USE_OCE=ON

This has been happening for quite a while, but I don't know how to dig
deeper into the issue.
