JOSM allows deletion of nodes outside bbox

[nroets@…]

Version : 649 Download a small bbox that includes a long way. Delete the way. JOSM will also delete tagless nodes that belong to the way that fall outside the download bbox. This is wrong, because other ways may refer to one of those nodes, causing precondition to fail.

I don't think JOSM should allow any changes to nodes outside the download bbox.

Your observation is correct. It is planned to disallow all edits outside the downloaded bbox(s) but that hasn't been implemented yet.

From r1004 on, a confirmation request is shown when you try to delete data outside of the box. This confirmation can be deactivated by a "don't show again" checkbox; unsure whether this is a good idea, maybe we need a "don't show again for this session"?
