Crash attempting to edit footprint properties in PCB editor
Description
There is a serious regression in the 9.0 branch which appears to have been around since 9.0.0. It does not affect the master branch. Attempting to launch the properties dialog for a footprint causes a crash with the following back trace on Linux. This is 100% reproducible on Linux.
