[OSM-talk] problem with the public GPX lines in my JOSM

[Oleksiy Muzalyev]

The public GPX traces lines in my JOSM are shown chaotically and 
meaningless. But when I switch to the dots-only option, then it is OK. 
On the OSM map the same public GPX is shown correctly, as a meaningful 
line. Also in the iD editor it is the correct GPX line.

This behavior is present on two different computers, one macOS, another 
Windows, both with the latest version of JOSM.


I recorded this GPX with a smartphone app.


Here is the screenshot where this GPX is displayed in JOSM with dots 
correctly:

the same public GPX trace on the OSM map is displayed correctly:

in the iD editor it is OK:

There are similar chaotic lines for other public GPXs, which were 
recorded by other people.

Is it only my local problem? Or is it not a problem at all, but a 
feature? I keep changing settings in my JOSM, but these chaotic public 
GPX lines persist. I do not remember having this problem before.


When I open a GPX file locally in JOSM, it is shown correctly. This 
problem appears only with downloaded public GPXs.
