This is a server issue more than anything else: it happens in times of server slowness. I got it a couple of times this Sunday afternoon. In short, splitting way B off from way A requires two writes: one of way B, then one of the new, shorter way A (http://trac.openstreetmap.org/browser/applications/editors/potlatch/way.as#L576). If the second write fails, then the points in B will still be in A too. The solution is either to move splitting ways entirely to the server (so, although the user hits 'split', the way isn't actually split until the server returns a message), or to fix the server. I'd be interested to know _why_ the server runs so slowly at certain times. I'm not convinced API 0.6 will help: indeed, I suspect it may lead to increased server load. But others will know more than me. cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Invisible-coastline-errors-in-Potlatch-tp21234805p21308233.html Sent from the OpenStreetMap - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
