It is intentional : you don't drop the current move with RMB, but you strip
the game up to the previous move. Hence all variations are gone.
Long time ago I disabled RMB because I found it too dangerous (no undo
function) and wanted to reuse the RMB for another purpose, but some users
were  attached to it. So consider not using RMB but right click on PGN
window to get a menu that lets you reorganize the game and its variations.
Not a bug, a feature ;-)
