Um, I don't understand your second sentence there. Do you mean that the fix is to set the focus to the textfield rather than the button? On Mac OS X it seems that the textfield isn't selected by default, however if you click in the text field, and use the keyboard shortcut to paste it will work. > > >> 4) She selected a way, and then tried to move the node because the >> road had been extended.

Have a hidden property in JOSM advanced_mode=true, if it is not set, then you will be unable to do certain things like move non-circular ways more than ~5 nodes. If you do try, you get a potlach like non- modal dialog telling you why you can't do the operation. > > >> 5) She went into insert node/way mode with the way still selected, in >> order to extend it.

It would mean that I wouldn't have to go through a dialog when editing data. I know it could introduce poorer ui for greater useability. Maybe a mix of the 2?
