Thank you Thomas, The image you provided to prove your solution was a complete surprise to me and may contribute to a solution for this everlasting Potlatch Critic.
You are right, and I am right. My screen looks entirely different, due to the missed option (I mean: I missed it and probably also those users that have problems editing with Potlatch) to show ways as THIN LINES. Am I right in assuming that Potlatch in default mode shows fat ways and fat nodes ? Then just changing the default setting of this switch would improve a lot in editing quality. And to Richard: Why react so strong ? Instead of cursing just ask why others experience problems and not shoot (screw?) the messenger especially if he provides proof of editing problems. Im a mapper, not a coder, and I won't make a Patch for obvious reasons. Richard, would you give it a try ? Set the default to thin lines ? Add another zoom level for those ****ing detailed crossings ?? To d Thanks for putting oil on the waves....

I just have. In potlatch, in play mode. It took me about 5 minutes.
