Hey guys,

I think I discovered a new issue - or at least I'm unable to find it amongst all the other issues (https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues)

Steps to reproduce:

I'm on master branch.
Running: macOS 14.3 Sonoma

(Is there any official way of reporting my build info and version, eg. same as it's done in issue section? If so, I'll need an explanation on how to do so.)

Fresh build. Run KiCad with:

open kicad/KiCad.app

I open "Symbol Editor" and chose any symbol to edit. Control + click on any rectangle of the symbol and Graphic properties dialog window is opened (file dialog_shape_properties.cpp).

Now, I get this:

Notice how Style combo box is set to "Combo!".

If I press OK now, the application crashes.

This is an issue.

I need someone to confirm this.

If it's an issue, I'll add it to the issue list and I'd like to resolve it then - assigned to me.

Thanks,
Damjan Prerad

This is current code in dialog_shape_properties.cpp (pay attention to line 150):

DEFAULT_STYLE is "Default" (defined in stroke_params.h):

And if it's defined to be "Solid", then the problem is solved:

Then, when go into Graphic properties, it looks like this:

Hi Damjan,

To report issues, you can use the Help -> Report Bug function, which will automatically put in the correct version info, or you can use the Copy Version Info button in the About dialog.

If you would like to work on an issue you can leave a comment on GitLab asking for it to be assigned to you.

-Jon
