nothing has been done yet is not due to people thinking otherwise but
simply nobody has gotten around to fix it yet. But fixed it will be.

You must e using an old version of JOSM.

In fact the icon should be changed to a select icon instead of a move
icon. Moving with the select tool is quite common.
