Negating search doesn't work when searching for a key with a colon in it

[avar]

...at least that's the case I tried out. Load up the attached .osm file and try searching for:

• "name:is"=* ==> Paris is selected
• -"name:is"=* ==> Paris is still selected even though it has a name:is key
• "^{name:is$": and -"}name:is$": under regex search show the same problem

It's like the tag is there but for some reason JOSM doesn't notice.

Not really a blocker. Setting to normal.

Can't reproduce.

• "name:is" -> Paris is selected, as expected
• -"name:is" -> Paris is not selected, as expected

Closing. Please reopen if necessary.

Replying to Gubaer:

Can't reproduce.

• "name:is" -> Paris is selected, as expected
• -"name:is" -> Paris is not selected, as expected

Closing. Please reopen if necessary.

Still fails for me:

1. Open this file in r2021
2. Search for "name:is" --> 30 nodes are selected, including Paris
3. Search for -"name:is" --> 171 nodes & 28 relations are selected, including Paris

When I search for -"name:is" type:node however Paris isn't selected.

Also when I search for -"name:is" Paris doesn't show up in the selection list. And if I delete those 171 nodes it selects Paris is left behind. But there's still a red square around it indicating selection. I tried zooming in and out to see if it was a mappaint bug but the selection box doesn't go away.

Screenshot attached.

Searching for -"name:is"

If you search for -"name:is" it finds the relation nation ("French Republic"). When selecting a relation the members are highlighted on the map. The node Paris is one of the members so it seems as if it is selected.
