Bogus "editing failed" message when loading a map area from OSM

[anonymous]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Load JOSM
2. Open a map, eg ​https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=51.568171977996826&mlon=0.03954648971557617#map=18/51.56797/0.03992
3. Click on EDIT button

What is the expected result?

The map area is loaded in OSM

What happens instead?

The map area is loaded in OSM, but is preceded by a bogus Editing Failed message

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible.

Strange, in your description is nothing about remote control, but the warning and the log refers to it.
Do you allow remote control to download data in your setting?

Anyway, we need more and exact information like the status report:

---

Thanks for your report, however your ticket is incomplete and therefore not helpful in its current form.

Please add all needed information according to this list:

• The required parts of the Status Report from your JOSM.
  • Please, use Report Bug from Help menu and copy & paste.
• Describe what behaviour you expected.
• Describe what did happen instead.
• Describe if and how the issue is reproducible.
• Add any relevant information like error messages or screenshots.

To ensure that all technical relevant information is contained, create new tickets by clicking in JOSMs Main Menu on Help → Report Bug.

Remember: This is a generic notice so we don't need to write the same stuff again and again. It may only apply in parts to the specific case!

Yes, remote control is allowed and the map loads in OSM. The problem is that the OSM page which invoked the remote control wrongly thinks the remote control was unable to load the map.

Anyway, we need more and exact information like the status report:

I assumed the status report was this bit:

I already submitted the report using JOSM's Help button, so where do I find the Status report?

Arg, sorry, my bad. Yes, this is all we need.

[anonymous]

I realise I have said, several times, "The map area is loaded in OSM" when I should have said each time "The map area is loaded in JOSM"

[mdk]

I have the same problem. Detailed reproduction steps are:

1. Start new JOSM
2. Open ​https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/-23.12326/47.16011&layers=N (but should work with any area)
3. Use "Bearbeiten" -> "Bearbeiten mit externe Editoren"

The browser shows the warning. Little later(!) JOSM shows the loaded area as a new layer. (you see it good, if you have both applications on different screens)

Additional information:

If you close the warning in the browser and the layer(s) in JOSM and press "Bearbeiten" again, JOSM shows the new layer (again), but without any warning in the browser.

If you restart JOSM and repeat the steps, the warning appears again. But always only the first time after starting JOSM.

I could reproduce this with Firefox and Chrome on windows, but I couldn't reproduce this on Linux.

As far as I understood, the warning is from www.openstreetmap.org. Taginfo shows no warning at all on remote control links, even if JOSM is not started. Maybe it's a timing problem between the website and JOSM.

Now I was also able to reproduce it on Linux with firefox (same procedure as above),
But this time, I could repeat it all the time. I actual use tested version, because I have problems with some plugins.
