Dear Maintainer, I could reproduce using linux-perf-5.2 and it is also visible in linux-perf-5.4 5.4.8-1, by just pressing enter.
The crash happens because in line 3172 function hist_browser__selected_entry returns browser->he_selection, which is at this time a null pointer. This null pointer gets dereferenced to access the res_samples member. Upstream seems to have fixed other occourences [1] of browser->he_selection being null, but this is already contained in 5.4 while a crash still happens. Kind regards, Bernhard Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
