Simplifying way sometimes leaves a stray node

[NE2]

If you have a straight way of 3 nodes and hit shift-Y, the center node sometimes remains. With more complicated ways, it seems that the second node sometimes stays whether or not it's important to the shape.

can't reproduce here ...

[ax]

i can reproduce this, but only for very low zoom level (30 km or more):

• create a new empty layer
• zoom out to 40,000 m (Ctrl+G, Zoom: 40,000)
• create a new way of 3 or more nodes
• select the way, and "Align Nodes in Line" (L)
• "Simplify Way" (Shift+Y)

expected result: all but the outer nodes get removed

what happens instead: no or only some of the inner nodes get removed

Changed always to sometimes. Download way 37585497 and then download the surrounding area and simplify way 37585497.
