unexpected behaviour of "add node crosses" when used on a way that shares itself with area

[HannesHH]

I am not sure if this qualifies as a bug, it just surprised me what happened and I would like to see it work otherwise.

A way has one or more areas "on it" using the same nodes.
I click and drag the cross to add a curve.
Only one the way (or in another case probably the area(s)) get the new node added.
I expected it to be added to all the ways as they "are the same".

This is intented behaviour. As your selection only covers one way, the new node also will only be for that way.

To get a "add to all" node you need to use the addition mode.
