error starting a new way over an existing way

[dmgroom]

JOSM version 407
Example:

Suppose there is a way running from A-B-C-D-E, road name Road1.

If I want a new way, and select node B, then select the draw node tool, and click node C I get a new way started, this is what I expect.

If instead, I wanted a new way, and select node A, then select the draw node tool, and click node B it doesn't start a new way, but instead seems to add a "reverse segment" to existing way Road1. This is not what i expect.

Segments are gone now.
