I have been using Potlatch to select points of interest and then
retrieve their latitude and longitude by typing "L". What I'm noticing
is that if I select a point, hit "L", and then a few seconds later hit
"L" again, I get different values in the last three decimal places of
the coordinates. I found this when I discovered I had made a typo in
transcribing a coordinate and had to revisit the point to get the
correct value. I can do this indefinitely and get various values,
without touching the point again, as long as it stays selected. This
is troubling. I also have the red-shaded triangle indicating a
communications difficulty during the session, but I don't see how that
should be affecting the values if they are coming from the database.
Is this a bug, or am I misunderstanding how this should be working? If
I am misunderstanding, then how do I get the "true" values for the lat/
lons?
