[OSM-talk] URGENT - Critical bug in JOSM 2417 [Fwd: [Talk-us] Possible destructive bug in JOSM build 2417 - need someone to duplicate]

I was hoping someone would have already bounced this thread, but I guess not. There is a confirmed bug in JOSM 2417 that breaks uploading, and may encourage users to inadvertently delete ways if the validator plugin is installed. It looks like there's a partial fix in 2439SVN, but the root proble

I take it you are distinguishing between a lighthouse that stands on land, and one that is set directly in the water (not on an island)? The latter would still be a man made tower, so it would seem that the manmade=tower would still be applicable. -- John F. Eldredge -- j...@jfeldredge.com "R
