-----------------------------------------------+---------------------------
 If an entity is selected when you save in Potlatch, some of its attributes
 are deleted.

 To reproduce:
 * Open Potlatch2 on a section of map
 * Highlight a road and make a modification to it (e.g. remove its
 "tiger:reviewed=no" attribute, or change its "highway" value)
 * While the road is still selected, press 's' to save

 The save occurs, but several of the road's attributes disappear.  I have
 verified that this happens even if multiple ways are selected, and if the
 'save' button is clicked (rather than pressing 's').  If after this occurs
 to a way, the way is modified and saved again, additional attributes
 disappear.

 Thinking it might have been a weird synch issue with Potlatch, I closed
 the changeset and reloaded Potlatch2, but the behaviour persisted.

 I'm attaching before-and-after screenshots to show the behaviour.  Between
 taking the "before" and taking the "after", the only thing I did was press
 's' to save.  Unless I'm completely misdiagnosing this, it is a fairly
 critical bug as it causes deletion of data.  (Even if I'm misdiagnosing
 it, *something* is causing the deletion of data, and that's a problem.)  A
 temporary workaround seems to be to make sure nothing is selected when you
 click 'save' or press 's', but it could just be that something is getting
 deleted and I'm not seeing it.

 I'm running on Firefox 20, on Ubuntu 12.10, on iMac hardware.
