[PATCH] cannot add tags to freshly created node

[schuetzm@…]

When I press "N" or "A" and create a new node by clicking, the buttons in the tagging panel are disabled, and I can't add tags by pressing Alt+B either. This works only after I either press "S", or unselect and reselect the node.

Correct. You need to finish drawing first. Using 'U' to unselect, 'S' to switch select mode or clicking node twice to end drawing are possible ways to do so.

Well, this begs the question: why has it been changed? I can't see any advantages from having to press an extra key to be able to add tags. And I just noticed, that this is not only for nodes, but for ways too. This means extra unnecessary input steps for all newly created and modified objects.

So I'm reopening this bug but setting type to enhancement: Please restore the old behaviour. Whenever an object is selected (which is the case here), the user should be able to edit it in any way he likes. This also includes orthogonalize, reverse and probably other functionality.

I attached a patch that may work - works fine here actually. It will run the check for enabling actions after a node or a way has been added to the dataset.
