John-

It appears that Debian is using the 20140316 build. I built this version on my machine (mac) and I cannot produce the behavior. I also threw together a VM of Debian 8.6 and installed the 20140316 version from the Debian repository, and I still do not experience that behavior.

The arrows also work fine for me in both cases.

The only thing I've noticed is that there is a funny behavior with the way the violating elements are highlighted, and this appears to be fixed in the git master repository.

Are you able to reproduce the problem with multiple designs? Are you able to reproduce the problem on different computers? If you can help me to reproduce the problem, then I might be able to fix it. Otherwise, there's not much I can do to help.

You might try removing and reinstalling the pcb packages, and check that all of the other packages on y our system are current. If you can, I'd suggest that you try building the latest version of master from the git repository. Even if I were able to reproduce the problem and fix it, that would be where the fixed version would end up until the next release.
