Hi Stefan!

All the source code is in Bazaar.  There is a git mirror for folks who
prefer git.  There is a script that automatically updates git from bzr.

If you are familiar with Linux, it is probably the easiest place to get
started with development, but that is starting to matter less and less.

The primary language used is C++,  with wxWidgets as the GUI toolkit and
cmake for the build system.

The best way to get fixes into Kicad is to submit patches here via the
email list, but it is good to ask about the bug/issue before starting work
on it, which you have already started.

I don't know about the issues you mentioned, so I will let others chime in
about those.

Thanks!
