I encountered it during editing some of my footprint libraries while moving the Value field from Silk to Fab layer. I managed to find a procedure which makes the Footprint editor crash every time:\n\n1. Open a project\n2. Launch the PCBnew\n3. Switch to OpenGL mode\n4. Launch the footprint editor from within the PCBnew \n5. Load any local library (editable)\n6. Load a footprint and change the Val or Ref layer to something else\n7. Save the footprint\n8. Try to load another one: every time i do that KiCad instantly crashes \n\nIf it doesn't, try to do it a few times. I found out that changing the text from visible to invisible and vice versa produces the crash too. Changing the text orientation or style doesn't.\n\nThe problem does not occur on Ubuntu 15.04, looks like it's Windows specific only.\n\nKiCad built with Winbuilder:\n\nApplication: kicad\nVersion: (2015-08-02 BZR 6035)-product release build\nwxWidgets: Version 3.0.0 (debug,wchar_t,compiler with C++ ABI 1002,GCC 4.8.2,wx containers,compatible with 2.8)\nPlatform: Windows 7 (build 7601, Service Pack 1), 64-bit edition, 64 bit, Little endian, wxMSW\nBoost version: 1.54.0\n         USE_WX_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT=OFF\n         USE_WX_OVERLAY=OFF\n         KICAD_SCRIPTING=ON\n         KICAD_SCRIPTING_MODULES=ON\n         KICAD_SCRIPTING_WXPYTHON=ON\n         USE_FP_LIB_TABLE=HARD_CODED_ON\n         BUILD_GITHUB_PLUGIN=ON"}}
