Is there something people can do too easily and inadvertently in iD which leads to a problem if they don't spot they've done it? Or maybe even a bug?
In the last month I've found edits by two different accounts, both editing in iD, where a node has ended up merged with another node, or possibly a way re-connected to a different incorrect node, some hundreds of metres away (in both cases the original location ended up eastwards, but that's probably just coincidence). The visual result is a road or building ends up with a long narrow spike in it. In both cases, from the changeset comments, it doesn't look like either of them were even trying to edit the particular feature in question - they were doing something quite unrelated. What I'm wondering is if there is perhaps some gesture, like panning the map, which can end up dragging a node which dropped onto another node connects them. If you're rapidly panning perhaps you may not notice you picked up a node? Is this possible? Is there some other scenario that could lead to this accidentally? I can understand one mistake, but two so very similar accidents by different people looks suspicious. David
