[OSM-dev] Problems with ways (was Re: [OSM-talk] ways and the java applet)

[Dan Karran]

I'm seeing it as well, in JOSM. Just my luck, I create my first ways
and then can't see the whole things when I come to download them
again.

The question is, have they been uploaded like this, or is it the
download that's broken?
