[jit.cellblock], [coll] and empty cells, Max4 & Max5

Hi,

With Max4 in some situations, when I edit a [jit.cellblock] (erasing
cells) which refers to a [coll], I get an invalide coll file, looking
like

1, blah;
2, 3, 4, foo;
5, bar;

Trying to understands what happens, I tried to erase cells in
[jit.cellblock]' [p coll_connection] help files and noticed that some
cells were impossible to erase totally: when you select them you can
always find a space when you use the left/rigt arrows (when you click
on them, they turn into your OS' selection color rather than
[jil.cellcblock]'s selection color).

So I tried in Max5 (and discovered [jit.cellblock] has no rounded
corners ;-). In the same help patch, it is simply impossible to erase
a cell. And if you create a row like:

666 foo bar yo

it will be represented in the [coll] as 666, foo bar yo (note the 2
spaces between bar and yo) and once your reload the [coll] file,
you'll get of course a row like:

666 foo bar yo

So, I must be missing something obvious or there is a problem with
empty cells in [jit.cellblock].
