Short description of error

Selecting any Object using right click crashes blender. I have even tried using the latest daily build with the same results. I am able to select Lamps and camera etc with no problem, but when selecting a mesh blender will crash. However if using blender version 2.76b and I right click to select object, objects are selected as expected without any problem

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Start Blender and click on default cube. Blender crashes

Crashes happens inside the driver, not much we can do here… You can try to change Selection method in System tab of UserPreferences and see whether it fixes the issue.

I don't understand why it worked perfectly using 2.76b on the same machine, but I'll try another way of selecting meshes

If I select OpenGL Occlusion Queries for the selection, it works !!!! :) Happy to use this, thanks for the tip

Yes, both blender and gpu drivers keep evolving, which unfolds issues sometimes - an dIntel is not reknown for the quality of their drivers… Anyway, time to close, thanks for the follow up.

To be a bit more precise, this crash was caused by a bug in Mesa drivers for Intel GPUs. It only happened with VBOs enabled, which is the default since 2.77. Added more info to the release logs.
Note that using occlusion queries for selection is more of a workaround, updating driver is a proper solution.
