I've seen two new users accidentally delete residential landuse areas near
me in the past fortnight:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/17695130
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/17505646
Could this be a problem with the iD editor? Has anyone else noticed it?

I am very new to OSM (2 weeks!) and I have now switched to JOSM and I use
that exclusively now as it is SOOO much better. Having said that, deleting
stuff by accident is not particular to iD. I have deleted by accident with
JOSM by having something selected which I am not aware of. Fortunately I

Here's another one, this editor really ought to be fixed or removed:

I tried using the JOSM Revert plugin, but it just downloaded the nodes
without the way.

Were the landuse areas attached to roads?

It’s rather easy in iD to click the middle of an area and select the area.
It's the way it works ... if you click and there is nothing close, then it picks
up an area which may well be outside the area you are looking at ...

But much harder to use for areas that share the boundary ways with
an adjacent area. You'd have to resort to the / stuff that Potlatch
uses or middle-click for JOSM (or whatever).
New mappers are likely to make
In my opinion you should always have to click the boundary. If not then it
is impossible to determine what you have selected. What if there are many
areas overlapping and you click inside the overlapped area? How could it
determine which of the areas you want to select?

That's true. What I noticed with these landuse areas is:

I gave iD a try recently, and went back to using Potlatch pretty
quickly afterwards. One of the main reasons what tha

I have had a conversation with one user (HLHJ) who accidentally deleted
some landuse without realising she had done it! I always try to contact new
users in my patch, especially where
