OK, some more testing. I built BZR 5645 on the 10.9 machine. As Bob has noticed, it can sometimes be difficult to select a thin line, such as the board outline on the edge cuts. You have to be pretty accurate with your mouse. And I’ve noticed that if I just click-click-click impatiently, trying to get Kicad to recognize the selection, the exception noted above is thrown. In parallel to all of this, I have noticed that with recent versions, pcbnew is slow to start up. In fact, a spinning beachball replaces the cursor for a little bit as it launches. And in some cases there is a slight delay between a mouse click and Kicad’s recognition of same. I wish I knew when this started. I first noticed it when using Adam’s nightlies, which I believe are configured to work on 10.7 and newer. I always build for whatever OS I’m actually running, so I do a build on my 10.10 laptop and my 10.9 iMac. My builds seem to run faster than Adam’s in this regard. Perhaps that slight startup delay is a red herring, I do not know. Anyways, what I think is happening is that before Kicad can display the correct context menu, it’s still processing mouse clicks and trying to put up another menu at the same time, and it gets all confused. ———————— And dang-nabbit, right now I saw a new one. Again with the click-click-click-click on the edge cut line, finally the line properties dialog came up, and I went to change a coordinate, and bang — crash again. But this time it’s a new exception: NSInvalidArgumentException, reason: ‘Unlocking Focus on wrong view (<wxNSView:0x60800366fc0>), expected <wxNSButton: 0x608000563180>’ abort() called terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException So I think maybe I have a poison build of wxWidgets, but it was also happening with Adam’s nightlies. -a _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
