[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#991642: kicad does not start several modules like eescheme

[Hans-J. Ullrich]

Package: kicad
Version: 5.1.9+dfsg1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

installed kicad very fresh on my debian/testing/amd64 and discovered a bug.

The problem: It is not possible, to start modules like eescheme from the kicad surface.

This includes eescheme (CTL+E), editing symbols (CTL+L), editing PCB layout (CTL+P) and 
editing footprints (CTL+F). All of them are deactivated.

The mentioned modules can be started directly, but not out of the kicad surface.

As mentioned in the forums, I tried to activate and deactivate graphical acceleration settings,but
got no success.

This issue seem to be known and appeared in some older version of kicad and was then fixed.

Now it appears again. Would be nice, if you could take a look at it.

Thank you very much for reading this and all your help.

Best

Hans
