I have the same problem, kicad seems to crash the Xorg server when zooming or scrolling around. Usually i can still move the mouse cursor, but p.e. switching to a console doesn't work. Shortly after the crash, the magic system request keys still reboot the machine, sometimes even those stop working. I tried with the intel drivers and with the ironhide nvidia drivers (optirun kicad) on a Dell XPS L702X, both crash. The only thing in Xorg.1.log is
