My answer is similar to Sander's<br>
<br>
There are lots of ways this can happen;<br>
If your editing lasts more than 120 minutes, unless you relock it,
your square is automatically released and another mapper could
select it,<br>
If one of you is using JOSM or another offline editor, at the
time of downloading the others buildings may not have been
present, allowing you to each trace the same area then upload,<br>
someone loses sight of where the square border is, and maps part
of your square,<br>
someone is not using th TM, and is editing the area,<br>
occasionally Tasks can overlap (very rarely), so someone using an
older task is mapping the same area as the newer task.<br>
<br>
There are probably more possibilities I hadn't even thought of -
Tasking Manager is pretty good at making sure this doesn't happen,
but then us pesky humans get involved!<br>

I was mapping late last night and had to quit because I
was falling asleep. When I took up the same square this morning, I
found that someone had traced over about 15 buildings that I had
done the night before. I'm thinking that would not have been done
if they could see my work. Is there some delay in the server?
