Hmm... actually, it's a bit more subtle than this. I tried just removing one close-paren and I did get a proper error message. So I tried to replicate the *exact* problem I had, which is that an entire set of them was missing (every close-paren from every fp_line object). That did it. Now, I'm having a hell of a time trying to narrow it down to any single missing paren, as most of them seem to trigger the problem if removed! Unfortunately, I have *no* idea what's going on here.

But here's a library for you, full of auto-generated 100mil headers. I removed the final parenthesis from line 8 (the first fp_line) of CONN-100MIL-F-1x15.kicad_mod, and KiCad will silently fail to load any footprints past there.

If I load the single file manually, I get the correct error again (PARSE_ERROR: Expecting 'layer or width' in input/source 'clipboard'). However, opening the entire library gives silent failure.
