add node into two ways simultaneosly

[dmgroom]

The situation is where two ways share in part the same set of nodes, eg a wood runs alongside a road.

It should be possible to add a new node into the middle of both ways.

At present you can only add a node into one way, and then add another node into the other way.

This has been possible for some while (at least since API 0.5). Just zoom out a bit so that both ways are within 10px of the mouse pointer, and then add a node (If you're using an older version you might have to use the "split node" tool).

I'm using version 368, and I cant get it to do what you say it should

OK, I've tried again, and if i really zoom out a long way then yes it does as you say, but I REALLY have to zoom out a LONG way.

For instance I have a two ways sharing two nodes about 300m apart, I have to zoom out until the scale bar reads 2.3km before the effect you describe occurs.

OK I've tried again, and it seems to work OK. not sure what is different.

Sorry to re-open this but I cant get any consistent behavior.

To be clear, the situation is as follows:

Two or more ways share the same set of nodes A-B-C-D (eg a wood area along side a road). I want to make the shape a bit better defined, and add a new node between say B & C, and I want this new node to be inse5rted into both ways (ie the wood and the road).

I just cant seem to consistently acheive the above result, and others have reported the same on the josm-dev mailing list

Further infomation:

I've just notices that if the "segments" in the two ways go in different directions then josm seems to do what i want, if the segments go in the same direction then the behavior I am complaining about exists.

Sorry. I reintroduced that bug with the new modeless mapmodes. Fixed in r387.
