[OSM-talk] cannot enter new items in josm - bug?

[Kenneth Gonsalves]

hi,
I have the latest josm on my mac osx 10.4. Am having problems  
entering items. Say I want to add a name. I click add, and enter  
'name' as key. For value there is a dropdown box with suggested  
values. Say I want to add 'church road'. I type 'c' and then 'h', the  
'c' vanishes and is replaced with the 'h', and so on. Sometimes I can  
get away by taking another value starting with 'c' from the drop down  
list, but if there is no value starting with 'c', I have to go to  
potlatch to add the value. This also happens with keys. If the key  
'junction' exists in the part of the map I am editing, I can add  
'junction' as a key - but if it doesnt, I have to add the first  
junction in potlatch and the subsequent ones can be added in josm.  
Any ideas? Is it something to do with my settings?
