Did you try clicking the "Edit in JOSM" button instead of using the keyboard shortcut? For me, when I use the keyboard to get to JOSM, Maproulette skips the task and opens another one in iD and JOSM at the same. When I click the button to load in JOSM instead, all works as expected. Harald. On Th

Hey all, Just a note that these are only the first 2 tasks of what should be a ~75k task challenge altogether. So depending on how the FRA sorted the data, it may expose regional gaps for that reason. Also, please even if you see the crossing rendered, do go in and check, because I have seen
