Kicad crashes on windows when editing symbol field table
Description
This only happens on MS windows. I have Kicad 8.0.1 on a linux machine as well and this issue does not happen at all. I have seen this happen on several projects and freshly started schematics. But only on MS Windows. I can still edit symbols individually with no issue. I can also use the bulk symbol editor if I have only a single symbol placed in a fresh schematic. But with more than a single symbol it crashes.
Steps to reproduce
- Open a schematic (can be in either a project or in the schematic editor in stand alone mode).
- Place a couple symbols. (Only placing 1 symbol does not trigger this issue. Things operate as expected with a single symbol)
- Open the symbol fields table editor. (The editor appears to load correctly but is completely unresponsive)
KiCAD will then hang. If in a project all of KiCAD will hang. If in standalone mode only that schematic editor instance will hang. I have let it sit for 10+ minutes to no avail. Each time task manager is required to kill it.

Not sure if this maybe related to #17041 (closed) or not.
