v5.1.5 Eeschema crashes on first opening after installation (lp:#1854593)
Original report created by der.ule (u-estrada)
I installed v5.1.5 today, unfortunately when I tried to open Eeschema it
crashes every time, this is similar to my previous reported bug:
1828071 - https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1828071
However this time, it crashes when trying to open a previous project *and*
when trying to create a new project, EEschema opens, there is the windows
sound for a dialog and then the software freezes.
I realized that if I copied my previous settings from the user folder of
v5.1.4 EEschema started without a hitch, I could narrowed it down to the
following line:
canvas_type=2
Having a "eeschema" file in the user folder with *only* that line allows
EEschema to start and be used, otherwise it hangs everytime.
