[Merkaartor] How to close way_29502364?

I have a strange problem here. way_29502364 is not closed although it
should be. It has the tag "landuse=farm" and is correctly (?) filled
with the appropriate colour in Merkaartor. But Mapnik doesn't render
this area, probably because it's not a closed way (i.e. an area). The
missing segment has nodes that are also used by other adjacent areas.

How can I close this way so that it makes up a correct area?

Usually I would try to select an end node, Create Road and click on the
other end node, to create the missing segment. But since both nodes
belong to several ways, how should it work?

I could detach an end node from the way, but 1) I had to detach a lot of
nodes until I come to a free one and 2) selecting way_29502364 and one
end node at the same time doesn't work: the node just won't get selected.

Any ideas?

PS: When you're looking at this, can you please tell me how you found
out where way_29502364 is located and how you could easily download this
area in Merkaartor? I'm missing a bit of a workflow or tools here.
