Bug Description

If a resistor symbol is placed in the schematic (Eeschema) and a wire is drawn between its pins, the wire is automatically cut and everybody is happy. But if a MOSFET, for example: Q_NMOS_DGS, is placed in the schematic and a wire is drawn between drain and source, the wire is not automatically cut. I consider that this is a bug for components with more two pins.

 Thanks a lot!

Sorry but this is currently by design. Others have complained that their multi-pin symbols were losing their intermediate wires. Not sure how to make everyone happy here but open to suggestions
