[OSM-newbies] Unpredictable Behaviour in Potlatch

[Steve Bennett]

If your track is still being processed, you need to wait.

As to how to get the right location - presumably you know where the
track is. Just pan there on view mode, then press "edit". Don't worry
about going through the traces view. You can press G to see all traces
(or apparently shift-G to see just your own).
