Description
I couldn't find a report on the same thing so I guess I'll make one.
A bug where connections build up, even when the connector is the same. So I end up with duplicate connections of the same knob.
Ctrl+drag a knob onto a automation track. If you drag the same knob again onto the same automation track, then it doesn't do anything. However, if you duplicate the automation track and ctrl+drag one to the other. Instead of doing nothing or overwriting, it adds it to the track.
I use Ctrl+drag to quickly change all those automation tracks to the one I want to save time, but instead it created this.


Using LMMS 1.2.2

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Ctrl+drag workflow in LMMS 1.2.2: connect a knob to an automation track, duplicate the track, and connect the same knob again. Trace the automation-track connection handling from that entry point; done means repeated identical connections are ignored or replaced rather than accumulated.
