I've reproduced what you describe. If you drag vertices, and
there are more than two superimposed linedefs in the whole level
and you reply "yes" to "Linedefs x and y are superimposed (and
perhaps other too) Merge them ?", most of the times random
linedefs will disappear. It can even segfault under certain
conditions.
It's funny that no-one has reported it so far because this bug
has been here forever (I introduced it in 1997). I guess that
most people don't drag that many linedefs at once.
I'm working on it. It's not trivial to fix, but I'm seizing the
opportunity to rewrite the auto-merging code to ignore linedefs
that were already superimposed before dragging. And if I'm on a
roll, do the same for vertices as I said I would for 1.6.
