On both capture cards and input connections, when you enter you get a 
list of the connections and a link to create new ones and delete old 
ones.  When you create a new one or edit an existing one, there is a 
finish button, but it takes you back to the list.  The only way out of 
those list screens is to hit escape.  This is where the strange behavior 
I described occurs.
