Hello Carsten,

i am talking about the features behind the button "Assign PCB footprints to schematic symbols" (see screenshot).
How this simple part of KiCad cannot be used as intended?
Using the wrong hand for the mouse? :-)

Fact is that this part of KiCad seems to be very buggy.
I did not open a new bug report for it, because i thought the problems of the described problem are to similar.
One time this part crashed, but this was really not reproducible.

It's fine that it is running stable on your system.
But this is no explanation that it must be stable everywhere.
On the other hand i think that you can't do anything to solve this bugs.

We must wait until this bugs are solved in newer versions of Kicad.
Version 5.1.8 seems to be on the way ...

Regards
karsten
