D doesn't grab the end of the short last segment in routing tool

[eelik]

In the attached video it can be seen that when a track has a short last segment the Drag command with "D" doesn't grab the farthest end of the last segment even though the cursor is on it. Somehow it grabs the joint of the last two segments and the result is unwanted. Therefore the user is forced to delete the last segment before dragging the end of the track.

The fix doesn't seem to work. I'm testing git a4d4d9a2419. If the farthest end point of the short segment is inside the second-last segment, "D" still grabs the joint of the two segments, not the farthest end point.

Tested also in Windows with the latest nightly build. Doesn't work correctly.
