multipart schematic library pin unintentionally reassigned

[michwolo]

Kicad schematic version: 4.0.6-e0-6349~53~ubuntu16.04.1, release build
wxWidgets 3.0.2 Unicode and Boost 1.58.0
Platform: Linux 4.4.0-72-generic x86_64, 64bit

Malfunction detection in steps:

1. Add new component
2. Add at begin only 4 (a, b, c, d) elements with options "All units are not interchangeable"
3. After pin assignment in those 4 part everything ok
4. Add next 2 part of component (e, f) and fill pins - ok
5. Add next 3 part of component (g, h, i). Here problems appears. During pin assignment on h part schematic inform me than two pin overlaps. It was strangle, I ignore it. So finally when I assigned last part of component, discover the same. Save everything and close library editor. When I reopen it again I discover that in many of parts some of pins have changed "Pin name" to name from last part, pin number kept the same. In some of component parts 3 or 2 pins overlaps.
6. To resolve the problem I start again form part 'a' up to 'i', correct and check again if everything match. It were many of pins name on many parts mistaken and overlaps.
7. After recheck, correct when necessary and save everything match as it should, do not do this unintentionally reassign again.

Conclusion: When start draw multipart schematic component with unknown final part number and extend/add new parts during draw, software inject unintentionally pin overlaps and reassign in unknown order in many of part.
