It's messy - click "Graphics" on the toolbar, then "Sec. Str." on the
toolbar of the graphics window, which will open the editor for these
restraints.  I will make this more accessible ASAP, and I'll add a
menu option to simply wipe out the current definitions.

The "Edit parameters and run" option is the best solution, although
that does involve reading the .eff file.   Alternately, "View all
parameters" in the Settings menu will show you a tree version of this,
which may be easier to navigate.

Not exactly- the other custom geometry restraints are handled much
better now, but the problem you describe could still be an issue.
However, what it will now do is include the parameter files as actual
parameters, instead of merging them in.  This won't fix your current
problem but it will prevent it from happening again in the future, I
hope.
