#4890: Potlatch deleting attributes when saving
-----------------------------------------------+---------------------------
Reporter: blahedo | Owner: potlatch-
Type: defect | dev@…
Priority: critical | Status: new
Component: potlatch2 | Milestone:
Keywords: potlatch save deletion attributes | Version:
-----------------------------------------------+---------------------------
If an entity is selected when you save in Potlatch, some of its attributes
are deleted.
To reproduce:
* Open Potlatch2 on a section of map
* Highlight a road and make a modification to it (e.g. remove its
"tiger:reviewed=no" attribute, or change its "highway" value)
* While the road is still selected, press 's' to save
The save occurs, but several of the road's attributes disappear. I have
verified that this happens even if multiple ways are selected, and if the
'save' button is clicked (rather than pressing 's'). If after this occurs
to a way, the way is modified and saved again, additional attributes
disappear.
Thinking it might have been a weird synch issue with Potlatch, I closed
the changeset and reloaded Potlatch2, but the behaviour persisted.
I'm attaching before-and-after screenshots to show the behaviour. Between
taking the "before" and taking the "after", the only thing I did was press
's' to save. Unless I'm completely misdiagnosing this, it is a fairly
critical bug as it causes deletion of data. (Even if I'm misdiagnosing
it, *something* is causing the deletion of data, and that's a problem.) A
temporary workaround seems to be to make sure nothing is selected when you
click 'save' or press 's', but it could just be that something is getting
deleted and I'm not seeing it.
I'm running on Firefox 20, on Ubuntu 12.10, on iMac hardware.
