Well this is potentially a problem, since Kicad uses wxWidgets and the Debain package was built against (and only tested with) the version available in the appropriate version of Debian. If you are using other versions of a library like that you are in untested territory. > > Please upgrade your system to latest lenny and try with that.

You don't really need to go to unstable (which, btw isn't really unstable). However it's very likely to be a video driver bug, since there is no graphics card specific code in Kicad, and it works fine on all other cards it's been tested on. I don't have access to the same video card as you to attempt to recreate this on, so I am not in a position to debug it. > Well, I hope it gets updated soon.

When the next upstream version of Kicad is released it'll be packaged quickly, and it's looking like this may not be too far away now. Don't expect this to fix your problem though. It's possible it's a Kicad bug, but it's pretty unlikely (and even if it is, there is no reason to assume it will have been fixed upstream, I've seen no reports of this problem on the developer mailing lists or any relevant svn commits).
