i tested this and at least for slovenian it now works as expected.
probably will be the same for most european languages.
thanks a lot for the speedy fix!

great to see this, and drawing tracks as separate lines properly.
hopefully the old data will appear once the back import finishes?

this looks cool! i see youve even thought of areas and roundabouts.
but i think the direction is really hard to see (too small)
in that case. may be better to use one bigger, stylized cw/ccw
arrow than the roundabout style sign. actually the repeat
attributes button looks just like that. (and the firefox reload button)
not sure yet what alternate graphic would be most intuitive for repeat
to avoid confusion.
