The threading here seems to be odd.

Anyway, when I was new to OSM and using an old slow machine with josm,
it was easy to drag nodes and ways by accident without noticing.

I once moved part of a major road by several kilometers: I noticed about
a week later and corrected it. I was very surprised that no one else
picked it up earlier.

Maybe other editors produce the same problems when run on slow limited
machines? Developers may not notice because they are usually using
fairly powerful systems. An accidental drag may not show up for a second
or more and can be overlooked.
