Re: [josm-dev] Various problems with josm
Hi Dirk, thank you for the tips. I wasn't aware of the middle-click functionality. Therefore, problems 4 and 5 from my original posting are solved now.

[josm-dev] Various problems with josm
Hi, Today, I ran into a couple of problems with josm when trying to fix tram tracks in Munich. I was using the latest tested version of josm (898). Please let me know if I am just missing something. (Problem 1 ) Tram lines (railway=tram) are almost invisible: They appear as dark-grey, dashed lines on the standard black background. (Problem 2) I tried to change the colour in the preferences, but none of the variables I changed had any effect. I tried mappaint.rail, mappaint.otherrail, and mappaint.railover from the advanced preferences. (Problem 3) Interestingly, tram lines don't even change colour when selected. Only the arrow-heads become highlighted. (Problem 4) For some parts of the tram route, I was unable to select either the tram way or the street on which the tram way was located. From josm, there was no indication, that there was a tram way on top of a street, other than the drawing style of the way, which looked like a mixture of a street and a tram way. I think this happens, when two ways are constructed from the same nodes (or one is a subset of the other), like in this example: way id='25976292' timestamp='2008-08-04T18:28:43+01:00' user='user_4133' visible='true' nd ref='1954859' / nd ref='1954861' / nd ref='1954862' / nd ref='19224215' / nd ref='201741324' / nd ref='201741326' / nd ref='18292348' / tag k='created_by' v='Potlatch 0.6a' / tag k='railway' v='tram' / tag k='name' v='15, 25, 19' / /way way id='3819306' timestamp='2006-10-23T20:20:14+01:00' user='dankarran' visible='true' nd ref='1954859' / nd ref='1954861' / nd ref='1954862' / nd ref='19224215' / tag k='created_by' v='JOSM' / tag k='highway' v='residential' / tag k='name' v='Schloßstraße' / tag k='oneway' v='true' / /way In this example, the street is built from a subset of the nodes of the tram way. Try to select the street in josm. (Problem 5) When trying to find the example above in the osm xml file, I looked for a method to identify the way xml element from the way selected in josm. Unfortunately, I could not see the id of the way in josm. Only the name was displayed, which is not unique. Sorry, if I missed anything obvious. - Rainer ___ josm-dev mailing list josm-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev

The tram-style is overlayed with the tram-overlay style and thus makes it nearly invisible. I will fix this soon by removing overlays for identical base types. (Problem 3) Interestingly, tram lines don't even change colour when selected. Only the arrow-heads become highlighted. They change, but the overlay is to powerful, so you don't see it :-) (Problem 4) For some parts of the tram route, I was unable to select either the tram way or the street on which the tram way was located.

I think this happens, when two ways are constructed from the same nodes (or one is a subset of the other), like in this example: Probably you misinterpretet something here. If you see the tram, then the tram is displayed on top (which is BTW unpredictable). If you click, you always select the way on top, in this case the tram, Where you did not really see, that it was selected. To select the other way you need to use middle mouse-button + CTRL trick or use other means of way selection (e.g. drawing selection rectangle) and selection dialog to choose right element.
