Trouble using select and extrude tools

[henrik.friis@…]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Using JOSM on a Mac 12.7.6

What is the expected result?

Easy using the select and extrude tools

What happens instead?

1) When I use the Extrude (x) tool, I have a lot of trouble setting a new point, and I often have trouble capturing the line I want to move. 2) When I use the Selecting (s) tool, I have a lot of trouble capturing a point so I want move. Most of the time I just move the whole shape (or line) when I drag.

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

Hi,
I have opened a JOSM support ticket, but in the meantime, I think I have figured out what’s wrong in relation to the selecting tool. As far as I see it’s about how the node works in JOSM. If you point at a node, you will see a dotted rectangle (next to the cursor) which either can be 1) empty, 2) with a red dot or 3) a red line. The dotted rectangle is very small, and it can be difficult to see the chances. The change between these 3 states is also very tight. If you move the cursor just very little the chance will come. The reel issue is that you can move a line or a polygon by dragging a node. In my opinion you should only be able to move a line or a polygon by dragging the line between the nodes and not the node itself.

But this does not explain the issue related to the Extrude tool.
