In the last few days I have learned that gschem has indeed some smart
features...

I just checked behaviour for multiline attributes and while gschem was
already opened, I tried rubberband behaviour. One big advantage of
rubberband generally is, that in that mode ALL netlists are preserved,
so you can move elements and still be sure that nothing is damaged. But
for my gschem 1.9.1 it happens, when symbols are moved, that nets follow
the movement and tear off from other nets. Is that fixed in current
developer version? An even more serious problem is, that moving symbols
with following rubber net segments may generate new, unwanted
connections. Seems that this occurs also for my gschem version.

So perfect rubber bands may be really hard to code?

Is so, there should really be a "netlist modified warning": A widget or
menu item which can generates a current netlist in RAM, and shows a
warning when that netlist is changed. That feature would allow fully
save graphical cleanup of of schematics. I think I suggested that
already in the past.
