I believe this is related to a windows only bug in the
FootprintListBox constructor. CVPCB will crash because of the use of
an unitialized pointer in the constructor.
the fix is to add the line
m_ActiveFootprintList = NULL;
to the constructor, line 74 cvpcb/listboxes.cpp
the error occurs in SetActiveFootprintList ...
#ifdef __WINDOWS__
/* Workaround for a curious bug in wxWidgets:
* if we switch from a long list of footprints to a short list
(a filtered footprint list),
* and if the selected item is near the end of the long list,
* the new list is not displayed from the top of the list box
*/
if ( m_ActiveFootprintList )
{
bool new_selection;
if( FullList ) new_selection = TRUE;
else new_selection = FALSE;
if( new_selection != old_selection )
SetSelection( 0, TRUE ); // the exception
occurs here
}
