[Therion] 5.3.14

[Xavier Pennec]

I agree with Bruce on the suggestion NOT to erase the options when 
changing the type of a symbol: this feature is useful when we draw 
everything right on the first shot, but when correcting errors in types 
(or refining the drawing from a first draft), it often create new 
unnoticed errors by erasing the options.
