hi devs, hi miller

there is a strange behavior of pd 0.36, 0.37 and 0.38
(i tested msw and linux): sometimes i missed a cord-connection
in a patch, which worked, before i did edit it.

   now a simple example:
start pd without any externals, sound or midi;
create a new window;
create 3 messages with content "aa", "bb" and "cc",
     "aa" on top, "bb" and "cc" on bottom;
connect "aa" with "bb";
connect "aa" with "cc";
change content of "bb" to "xx", 
       (the text-cursor is still blinking in "xx"-message-box);

    |aa(
   / \
  /   \
|xx(   |cc(

now click immediately the connection from "aa" to "cc"
     (it becomes blue);
and delete this cord with backspace.

but pd removes the cord between "aa" and the previous 
        edited message-box ("xx").
there is a simple workaround, you have to click to canvas-background
before you select the cord you want to delete, but i think it's a bug.

cheers, thomas musil
