Deleting multiple gate tiles freezes game

I experienced a glitch three times in a row after restarting my computer each time. If you try to delete a gate tile more than one at a time, the game will glitch, and I am unable to click on anything else. It will not allow me to save. The save loading screen will spin for 15+ minutes. I waited roughly 15 minutes twice, before forcing my computer o restart to get out of the game. However, if you delete the gate one by one, game continues normally.
