[HOT] [Tasking Manager] enhancements - testers required

[Augustin Doury]

Hi! Couple things I realized this morning using the Tasking Manager :

1) Limit how many times you could split the tasks, for a zoom level of 17,
maybe not more than once.
> sometimes tasks are splitted twice or more, it really slows the mapping.

2) Make it easy to find which task you're working on,
In the current version all "current worked on" tasks are highlighted in
orange, maybe the task linked to your OSM account could be highlighted in
an other colour.

3) It's too easy to delete a task, it could be great to add one step more
for security checking

Great to imagine how the new version will be!

Augustin
