After using the styling attributes “Line width” and “Render Lines as Tubes”, disabling Light kit will make paraview to crash… I have tried the same in Paraview Versions 5.5.0 and 5.6.0 and It works fine, but for paraview 5.8.x it crashes with the following error:

Steps to reproduce:
- open paraview gui
- go to Sources -> Alphabetical -> Line -> Apply
- In Styling properties:
- select Render Lines as Tubes
- change Line width to 1.5
- go to View - > Light Inspector
- disable Light kit
It was indeed a little bug and I fixed it here :
