[Potlatch-dev] Potlatch 2: Abandoning Unsaved Changes

Am I alone in finding Potlatch 2 overly keen to save my changes whilst 
I'm editing? I suspect that this causes many novice users to save 
unintended (& incorrect) changes to OSM.

Whilst I understand the desire not to lose my intended changes whilst 
I'm editing (why would they disappear?), it does seem overly difficult 
to abandon any changes made without saving them! (I do realise that 
selecting a way and pressing Cancel abandons changes to that particular 
item) My preferred method is to exit Potlatch (eg select View in OSM) 
and then re-enter Potlatch but on my slow PC, this is somewhat tedious.

regards Dave
