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.
