[OSM-talk] JOSM bug? ways seperate from segments

[Andy Robinson]

I think this is perhaps the same issue as we see with segments when you
download map data for two separate areas and there is a disconnect for the
segments where the data joins. Imi has that as a bug but I've not see the
way detach separately before.

Cheers

Andy
