Charlotte,
My answer is similar to Sander's
There are lots of ways this can happen;
If your editing lasts more than 120 minutes, unless you relock it, your
square is automatically released and another mapper could select it,
If one of you is using JOSM or another offline editor, at the time of
downloading the others buildings may not have been present, allowing you
to each trace the same area then upload,
someone loses sight of where the square border is, and maps part of your
square,
someone is not using th TM, and is editing the area,
occasionally Tasks can overlap (very rarely), so someone using an older
task is mapping the same area as the newer task.
There are probably more possibilities I hadn't even thought of - Tasking
Manager is pretty good at making sure this doesn't happen, but then us
pesky humans get involved!
Regards
Nick

Hi,
I was mapping late last night and had to quit because I was
falling asleep. When I took up the same square this morning, I found
that someone had traced over about 15 buildings that I had done the
night before. I'm thinking that would not have been done if they could
see my work. Is there some delay in the server?
