Can't complete constraints and showing constrained when it isn't

Relatively new user, and I don't really understand the constraint system well enough.  There are a couple of problems with my sketch:

- an arc is showing fully constrained, but the end of the arc does not touch the object it should be coincident with (there's a small gap circled in the image below), and there's no constraint showing on the end of the arc that would limit it.  I can't extend the arc until it touches or add a coincident constraint.  What's making it fully constrained? How do I fix it?  I also need some help with the corresponding arc on the opposite side - why isn't it fully constrained?

- There is an arc, line and spline that appear to be fully constrained but not showing as such.  I can't move any of the vertices, so the constraints must be there but they show as blue, not black.  Attempts to add further constraints either just don't work, give an "over constrained" error or give a "cannot compute" warning.

While we're at it, how can I tell what objects a constraint marker is referring to?
