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.
