My EeSchima seems to have stopped allowing wire placements.
If I select the add wire button the bottom right status shows Add Wire.
When I click on a pin the status shows Block Move and the operation

I am have been using the system for a while and have not experienced
this before.
Same occurs with add bus but not with add component or add powers.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Posting a reply myself with more information.
The file was originally loaded from the Kicad main screen.
If I reload the schematic directly from the file menu in EeSchemea all
is ok.
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.

I noticed a similar problem: the place wire command doesn't "byte". But
I started using a faster click (shorter in time) on the mouse and it may
solved the problem, although it is not reproductible so it is more like
e "feeling". Sorry for the imprecise report, but there surely is a
problem there...
That was on svn version 2007 dec 13, I did not test enough on the new
svn 2008 jan 28. Mandriva Linux 2007.1 and 2008.
