I don't know if I'm the only one have this issue : browsing from a
changeset to one of the list objects (way or node) does not update the
map view (firefox). So I have to zoom and move the map manually making
this web object browsing hard to use. This was not the case in the
past.

+1 for the dates. Maybe something "nice" on the screen but not
something required by people using it. I'm just asking myself if the
devs really identified our needs with this object browser. The
previous version was maybe not so "nice" but really useful. Now we
have to move the mouse on each entry to see the date details
(especially when all of the history show you the same text...). Is it
an improvement ?

Maybe not a rollback but clearly, the current version is a downgrade
compared to what we had before (at least for those people who are
really taking a close look in data) and it's not evolving since then.
