[Talk-ca] Did I just find a potentially significant bug in JOSM?

Sam wrote "I think you're getting the exceptions because you've
modified the data, but have not updated the list." This is definitely
an issue I have encountered with Validator. If you run the validator
to check for errors, then delete some nodes or ways yourself, then try
to use validator's auto-fix, it will attempt to modify objects that
you have since deleted. This causes it great confusion and can mess
things up. Validator tends to be good about maintaining internal
consistency, but not external.

I don't do blanket fixes like Dan, I like to drill down a level or two
like Sam, just to make sure that Validator is doing things properly.

If you do open a ticket for this, be sure to let us know about it
(ticket number).
