Bug Description

Build 2013-03-31 Windows on XP

How I reproduce this:
- Create 3 resistors R1, R2, R3
- Connect the resistors in series so that the line between between R2 and R3 has a corner
- Check that all resistors are in fact connected by dragging them a bit and back
- Right click on the line between R2 and the corner and select "Drag Wire"
- Move the mouse to drag it

Expected result: Only the wire corner should be dragged. All resistors should stay in place. All wires in the drawing should stay connected to the resistors.

Actual result: R1 is dragged with the wire and disconnected at the other end

There are a few constraints where the user should not be able to do a few things.

But if the user wants to drag a wire not move it after learning that drag means that things stay connected, then the user will understand the constraints.
