I seem to recall this one (or at least something very similar) was fixed
several months ago.  Can you try with the latest from Git ?

Thanks.

     Is this a know issue?
     Maybe we entered some data wrong, but I would expect that the software
     shows a dialogue with some advice instead of dying at an assertion.
     
     
     Best,
     Robert
