Can you point me to some code where this is done? Just want to see and understand it. > I just fear that in some corner, maybe even an OpenGL lib or a graphics > driver, this will lead to a problem.

Zero length or otherwise broken elements generally shouldn't leave Kicad. :-] > The idea was to have only one input field for corner radius. > > Input "0.2" and it means 0.2 mm, input "20%" and it is taken as 20% of > the shorter pad edge. Ok, got it! Forget what I wrote above. That's a great idea! :-) It seems to be more convenient and reduces the number of clicks to get the data into the tool. This reminds me on better CAD systems where you can do simple +-*/ calculations in most input fields. That would assist footprint creation generally.
