So when clicking 'edit with JOSM' there is no more task boundary loaded?
I have to manually load the boundary for every task I work on? How am
I supposed to configure my browser to actually automatically hand this
file to josm?
This is a major step backwards in usability, unless there's something
significantly wrong with my (untouched since before this change) setup.
When I load a task into JOSM, continuous download immediately grabs
adjacent area, and then I have no idea what the boundaries are of what
I'm supposed to be mapping.
I have only *once* seen a tasking rectangle in the OSM database, and
that was somehow added by somebody else. I deleted it and moved on. It
seems to me that if there's a problem with JOSM adding them, it's
supremely rare, and should be prioritized in JOSM rather than "fixed"
with such a significant step backwards in usability.
I'm also not thrilled with the move of "Unlock". IMO that's going to
make inadvertent "premature Done"s much more common. I would much
rather see it be a button again, perhaps colored yellow to distinguish
it from the green Done.
