I have replicated your bug: the Edit Con is broken.  This will be
fixed for the next release.  In the mean time, you can edit the
connections by just clicking on a given unit, do Edit Unit, then edit
the "recv" connections, then edit the particular group of connections.
You can also write a script to set the weights, or do Write Weights
(using Text format), then edit the weight file, and do Read Weights to
set the weights.  Script code for one weight would look something like
this:

       .networks[0].layers[1].units[0].recv.gp[0][0].wt = .5;

where the various indicies can be found by editing objects in the
network.
