The current default is certainly unusable, at least for nodes, so
thanks for letting me know how to fix it.

I suspect the real answer is that you probably want quite a high
threshold for ways (it's very rare for me to really want to move
an entire way, so having to try hard is good) but a very low
threshold (if any at all) for nodes, which I often want to move
by quite small amounts and which I very rarely move accidentally.

In fact almost always when I do move something by accident it is
because I was trying to move a node but clicked slightly too far
away and hence moved the way instead.
