Dragging several components results in ratlines pointing far outside PCB and broken net

I have a PCB which is completely routed. I needed a Dsub connector located at one board edge to be shoved somewhat further outside. So I used the "rubberband" way of selecting several components and traces and vias etc, which I selected in a way to mess up the least possible, as EasyEDA cannot manage to keep traces intact with such an operation (it will rip them apart at connection points/angles). Then I used the cursor keys to move everything to the right by several steps. Then I rebuilt all copper, and manually repaired the few traces which were ripped apart by the moving operation. Then I clicked the cycle-arrow icon on the Nets folder to update the nets checking. It was shown that 3 nets are now still broken, although everything looks perfectly routed. Also, the 3 ratlines all start on the PCB, but their end points are 1400mm (over a meter!) outside of the PCB. But where they point to, there is nothing. All components belonging to the broken nets are also shown as located on the PCB, when I click them in the Nets folder. What is going on? How do I fix this? (Remark: this is now the 2nd weird screwup today (not in total...) after the app destroyed almost 100% of my perfectly routed nets after I inserted one extra resistor between two nodes in schematic, altering ONE net and creating ONE new... rebuilding copper did not help, I had to recover an older save of the PCB and redo the changes, then it worked... This program seemed enticing to save work, as it's connected with LCSC parts purchase... but now it is costing me lots of extra time to fix weird screwups of the software after some basic, innocuous seeming operation... I won't make that mistake again, that's for sure)

OK, this is WEIRD. I now did not want to save this modified PCB file, to not spoil the (with 10 save points way too small) history. So I "save as" this to a new  PCB file. After saving was done, the error, and the 1.4 meter sticking out ratlines, disappeared. I upcated the "Nets" folder, but it now looks ok. This looks like a confusing bug to me. So it, apparently, did not mess up my work this time, but one has to know that and save, to see that...

Your project is private so only you can see what you are describing. That makes it hard for anyone else to help. Please either post a link to a public project that demonstrates this behaviour or share it with support.

The PCB now underwent several further changes, it may not be exactly reproducible If you could give me a quick tip how this making public works, I might do that next time I encounter something like this. Btw., are DRC errors due to "track length" based on an apparent metric/imperial number conversion error a known issue, or should I make a thread about this? I have 2 traces with own design rule, and the rule has something like 5.962mm as length, which I entered after the actual length as is on PCB was shown to be exactly that. The DRC error is still there, and while "is" and "should" numbers in mm are shown to be the same, it then puts imperial numbers in braces after that, which slightly differ: (234.725mil) vs. (234.724mil).
