Comment 10 for bug 1774715

Hi Orson,

I'm at work currently so I can not try your patch right away.
I'll certainly do it later afternoon when I get back home.

Regarding your question about video driver. Yes, I had updated drivers (and BIOS as well) yesterday almost right after Seth made his guess that driver might be an issue here.
Also I did some more investigation on this matter.
The thing is that I have dual video adapter on my laptop. Integrated Intel HD4000 plus Ati Radeon 7670m. At first I thought I could disable integrated adapter and leave the heavy lift to Ati, but soon I found it is impossible. Things work differently here. Operating system decide which adapter should be active based on the user power/performance profile settings.
So before I played with this settings the Pcbnew was running under the power saving profile settings.
Meaning that Intel HD4000 was in play. This setup was not enough to run Pcbnew with the demanding operations. So it has probable cause resource deficiency (memory or what ever else) and resulted with application crash.
Later on I have change the profile in Ati Catalyst center, setting up the Pcbnew to the high performance profile (probably resulting in activating Ati adapter for rendering). And the issue vanished.
Even though, I think that we have hit the corner case here with OpenGL canvas which need to be addressed.
It seems to me that your proposed patch is targeting in that direction.
I'll come back as soon as I get some results.

Thank you,
Miljan
