In this case it can probably be worked around in KiCad.  I think the issue that Bernhard is looking at is another case of an OS X specific wxWidgets issue, but in that case I don’t have much confidence it can addressed in KiCad.  I hope I’m wrong.

When you move a part, the rats-nest doesn’t get redrawn properly. It uses old pad locations. Refreshing or changing to default canvas and back again updates the rats nest.

In other words, the pads move, but the center of the footprint remains at its old location. I will do more futzing around so I can come up with a recipe for this weirdness.
