That issue is just an artifact of how you are drawing things. If you
redraw that schematic with a short length of vertical net going from
the horizontal one to each pin it will behave as you want when the
parts are moved. I always have the pin terminate the end of net line
to avoid this. I also do that because I visually dislike doing it the
other way.
