In Potlatch 2 when you are using the advanced view to edit tags for a
particular way, there is something weird going on when you change the tag
from one thing to something else.
So here is what was happening: In the text field where you define the
name of the tag (the first column, not the second), I went ahead and
changed something from "name_1=ABC" to "alt_name=ABC", and then hit enter.
Instead of just changing the key to "alt_name=ABC" like normal, it instead
changed it to "source=[blank value field]" where source is the tag listed
after the "name_1" tag. Interestingly enough, if you then click the undo
button, it will do what it's supposed to do and re-add the "alt_name=ABC"
tag and everything will return to normal. I just noticed this today
(March 17) when I was editing, and I'm not sure if this is also an issue
with nodes.
At least there's a simple workaround for this bug, so it's not like it's
urgent or anything. But it's still kind of annoying and may be harder for
new users to figure out what's going on.
Finally, I am using Potlatch 2 in Firefox 10.0.2 on Windows XP service
pack 3.
Hope this helps, and happy bug-fixing :) !
Thanks, Compdude
