Oh, I don't know, Potlatch2 works pretty well for buildings for me... http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=44.94298&lon=-93.29501&zoom=16&layers=M
I am pretty sure that you are seeing the selection options for point features. Are you selecting the whole way/area/polygon? Or, are you just selecting one of the nodes in the way. The menu is context driven. The menu that you describe should look that way when you have a point/node or no feature selected. David. PS. Disclaimer, Ian did some of the buildings using the JOSM building plugin.
