KiCad crashes on consecutively Change Symbol with different pin multitude

Description

Changing a symbol, two times in a row and with different multitude of pins, crashes Schematic Editor.

Mint is not supported but this issue informs in case it affects others.

Steps to reproduce

In Schematic Editor open pic prog demo project

  1. Enter pic_sockets sheet and locate P2 socket at top right with value SUPP28
  2. Right click on a connected connector symbol and select Change Symbol from the context menu
  3. Change the New library identifier from ie pic_programmer_schlib:SUPP28 to pic_programmer_schlib:SUPP40
  4. Click Change, don't have to close the dialog
  5. Change the New library identifier again and backwards this time pic_programmer_schlib:SUPP40 to pic_programmer_schlib:SUPP28
  6. Click Change->crash

KiCad v8 (current head):
