The Linux version on Kubuntu 7.10 behaves in a similar way. Depending on the level of zoom, I have to try 2 - 5 times before the wire placement "bites". Also,it's common that I have to cancel a "component move" while trying to get the wire started. I noticed this with the last version of KiCad. I' using an AMD 64 dual core 4000+ and "enough" dual port RAM. As a workaround, change zoom leve ( increase ) and try a couple of times and it'll work. //Dan
