I believe I know what the problem is. I had the same thing in Linux, and it turns out that the binaries for Linux that are available on the Kicad site are compiled with an older version of wxWidgets which is the culprit in this bug.
You will need to install wxWidgets 2.8.x and compile Kicad yourself (unless someone has better binaries somewhere!) I added the following line to my repositories in Ubuntu to get the latest wxWidgets: deb http://apt.wxwidgets.org/ gutsy-wx main It says it's for gutsy but it's been working fine in hardy for me and I haven't found a hardy repository yet.
