mapillary "area too large" message is too aggressive

[richlv]

when a large area has been downloaded from osm, the mapillary plugin complains :
"The downloaded OSM area is too big. Download mode has been changed to semiautoatic until the layer is restarted."

at least i think it is the mapillary plugin because of ​https://github.com/openstreetmap/josm-plugins/blob/master/mapillary/src/org/openstreetmap/josm/plugins/mapillary/io/download/MapillaryDownloader.java#L192 :)

there are two problems with this message :
a) it doesn't say what produced it - so when a user sees it, they don't know that they can hide mapillary layer to get rid of that message
b) it isn't shown only once - it comes up repeatedly after some operations (like moving a way, undoing that etc) - sometimes even coming up 5 times in a row, requiring a lot of clicks to get rid of it

Thank you. I was having this same problem and now because of this report, I unloaded the Mapillary plugin and the problem has disappeared. For me, the message didn't appear when downloading an area but only when I was trying to move large ways having many nodes. and then, as user nokutu observed, it would appear many times and require many clicks to subdue it.

This is now fixed in the brand new release ​v1.5.8, which can now be downloaded via the plugin updater in JOSM's preferences.
