Validator - fixing duplicate nodes spams with many dialogs

[bilbo]

When I load attached file (it is from OSM where someone accidentally uploaded everything
multiple times) and try to fix this using validator, I run into trouble:

When I select "Duplicate nodes" (there is almost 1000 of them) and press "fix", Validator starts fixing it - unfortunately, many of the duplicate nodes lie outside of downloaded area, so I am flooded with neverending prompts, saying that nodes are outside downloaded area and propting me if I really want to delete them (no, I want to fix only those inside, but I have to click through hundreds of prompts).

This should be solved somehow better with validator (perhaps with one prompt "some nodes are outside downloaded area" -> "fix all of them" / "fix only those inside" / "cancel")

In 2561 (current tested) you can disable this dialogue:
settings (F12)
advanced settings (last entry in list)
message.delete_outside_nodes= (empty)
message.delete_outside_nodes.value=1

These settings do not delete the outside_nodes as the value "1" implies!

for me using the latest testing release (r3208) I still see the errors listed in the validator results box, but when I hit fix it just fixes the downloaded ones it is sure about. no annoying dialog boxes. haven't touched the advanced properties.

so is this one fixed?

(it might be nice to get a "x errors not fixed as components are partially out of region" or so message, at fist I couldn't figure out why "Fix" didn't fix them. until I zoomed to one and guessed why)
