[Fixed] Crash Bug #2710 Freecad doesn't show sketch elements added when overconstrained

[Kunda1]

issue #2710

Description
If you have an overconstrained sketch, Freecad will not show sketched features drawn without any constraints. The features show up by either adding another feature and creating auto constraints or by saving and re-opening the file. If you are in the state with any "hidden" features and press undo (cmd+z), Freecad crashes.
This bug works the same way in both version 0.16 (6706) and 0.17 (8471).

Steps To Reproduce
1. Open the attached file (HiddenSketchFeatures017 or 016) file
2. Add any number sketch elements without auto-added constraints. They will all be hidden. Some will even crash Freecad immediately (like the more advanced such as rectangle or slot).
3. Add any constraint. The hidden elements will now appear.
4. Use the "Undo" action (cmd+z or the Undo menu item). Freecad will crash when removing one of these hidden (or previously hidden) elements.

Kunda1, I think the project should be changed to Sketcher rather than FreeCAD.

I have downloaded the zip, opened the 017. It is overconstrain. Then I add lines:

adding_lines.png (6.77 KiB) Viewed 1443 times

They appear.

Maybe I do not understand the "they all will be hidden" of the issue. I have also tried undoing. Not problem with crashes. I can not reproduce the indicated behaviour.

I am running for these tests:
OS: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.17.10950 (Git)
Build type: None
Branch: master

Python version: 2.7.12
Qt version: 4.8.7
Coin version: 4.0.0a
OCC version: 7.1.0

I have also tried the 016. Same behaviour as 017.

This may be MacOSX specific. Can any test on OSX?

I tested with exactly the same OSX FreeCAD-version. No problems here either.

My recommendation to the original poster sterna is to delete his config files, as 0.16 and 0.17 share the same config.

@chrisb do u mind notating the ticket with a mention to @sterna to do just as you said? Thx!

I have been working on a design today and something related to this ticket happened to me.

I was using the polyline tool. I wanted to do a segment coincident with the vertical axis. Some autoconstraint got applied and the following segments won't appear. Ultimately FC crashed.

The problem: I had been unable to reproduce it afterwards.

Bottom line: There is a bug. I do not have a way to reproduce it yet. So we can not debug it and fix it.

Did you do any Ctrl-Z before, perhaps even multiple? That's a use case where my FreeCAD crashes with some regularity but not repeatable. That's why I haven't reported it yet. The extremely good thing about this crash is, that it was the only one occuring in months (with 0.16).
