But it appears to be a similar issue to these postings which posit possible causes: http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/josm-dev/2010-April/004276.html http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2010-February/005359.html http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2010-February/005363.html http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2010-February/005368.html FWIW I suspect it isn't a _bug_ as such, but rather that the UI is unclear (at least to novice users) such that it is too easy for the user to mistakenly delete/blank the relations. Again, deleting many (66) relations that you haven't intentionally touched, or entirely deleting large (893-member) relations, is likely to be an error in most circumstances: the user should be made aware of what they're doing in terms they are likely to understand. cheers Richard _______________________________________________ josm-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev
