This is a duplicate of #636 - v1.4 doesn't support v8, you have to use the upstream version. We are still in the phase of bug hunting, stable release is planned to be synchronized with the KiCAD 8 release.

I opened a new issue since #636 was closed, and the issue still occurs, even though #636 was closed as "completed".

I think there is a misunderstanding. Let me clarify:

You reported a problem in version v1.4. This version doesn't support KiCAD v8 and never will (simply as it is older than KiCAD v8)
There is an upstream version with experimental support for KiCAD v8. This will be released as v 1.5 in a few weeks. If there is a problem in the upstream version, please, file a bug report for the upstream version.

PS: #636 was closed after you reported this issue. PPS: See installation instructions: https://yaqwsx.github.io/KiKit/v1.4/installation/upgrading/
