FreeCAD 1.0.0 on Debian Trixie — frequent random crashes across multiple systems

[Luke Donise]

Package: freecad
Version: 1.0.0
Debian version: Debian Trixie
Hi maintainers,
I’d like to report a stability issue I’ve encountered with FreeCAD on multiple Debian systems.
Summary of the issue:
FreeCAD frequently crashes at random, often when clicking UI elements such as Create Sketch, applying changes to patterns, or performing other basic actions.
Systems tested:
I’ve reproduced this issue on several machines, including:

  *
Intel i5-12th gen + NVIDIA RTX 3060 (running Debian Trixie)
  *
Intel i5-10th gen + Intel integrated graphics (running Debian Trixie)
  *
Raspberry Pi 4 (running Raspberry Pi OS Trixie)

Expected behaviour:
FreeCAD should remain stable.
Actual behaviour:
There is a small but constant chance of FreeCAD crashing on almost any button press.
Additional notes:
This issue does not occur when using the official AppImage from the FreeCAD download page, which seems much more stable.
I’m wondering whether a more up-to-date or more stable build of FreeCAD could be made available in Debian's repositories.
Please let me know if you need logs, backtraces, or a test file, I’m happy to provide whatever helps.
Thanks,
Luke
