Ok, i think the problem is because the time interval between each point,
there are even minutes between one point and another.

I quick way to fix that small gpx trace.

Open the gpx-trace manually (josm name_of_the_trace.gpx)
Select the gpx layer
Right button and Convert to data layer

Edit normally and upload
