Error on "download data" using overpass query

[micheleOSM3@…]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

I'm trying to "download data" using overpass query:

[out:json][timeout:500];
area(3600179296)->.searchArea;
(

nwrname(area.searchArea);

);
out tags;

What is the expected result?

What happens instead?

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

[GerdP]

I can reproduce it with something like

[out:json][timeout:25];
// gather results
nwr["name"]({{bbox}});
// print results
out tags;

JOSM reqires coordinates, so change the last line in the query to out geom;
Please reopen the ticket if that doesn't help.
