Path Splitter change/error?

I noticed, I guess a week or two ago, that pathsplitter's selection function seemed to have changed.  Prior to this, selecting the main path to be split and then the pink path as the 'slicer' using the shift key, the selection would expand sort of like a group.  Using the api command in chat, the path would split up normally, with the pink path disappearing.  This I assume is the correct behavior.  Since that change, as far as I can tell anyway, the selection doesn't enlarge like you've grabbed two objects.  Rather, you just see the 'selection' box disappear... though if you've grabbed the pink path correctly, it will show up as selected in a lower box.  If you use pathsplitter's command, it will work, and the pink line will disappear... but once this is accomplished, you cannot select any paths on that map again until you reload the map.  While this is ok in the sense that the script is still functional and usable, it doesn't work well now and constantly having to reload maps for every path one might split (on say a map with a lot of circular rooms with doorways) is a chore.  Is this a behavior others have noticed?  Fixes?  Author care to take a look?

I've not used PathSplitter, but that doesn't sound like desired behavior.  Have you tried it in a different Game?  I'll have to try this and see if I can duplicate the behavior.  What Browser and Operating System are you on?  (and have you tried the other browser?)
I use chrome, as that is (or at least was last time I checked) Roll20's preferred browser.  I haven't tried doing so in a different campaign as yet.  I did just discover that rather than reloading a map, you can switch from one layer to another and then back again and the paths become grabbable again, so that's a bit easier.  Obviously this tends to get used most on the dynamic lighting layer, so I do the split, move to objects and back to dynamic lighting and I can proceed without having to reload the whole game.  small steps...

If it gets too out of hand, you may try checking out the PathEditor  script. It also has path splitting functionality.
