Add/Draw nodes tool stops being able to create ways

[Wim Lewis <wiml@…>]

The add/draw nodes tool ("A") sometimes stops being able to create ways. Normally I can create a new way by clicking on each new node's location (or on existing nodes) and doubleclicking to finish. However, when this problem occurs, the new nodes are created, and sometimes the most recent segment of the way is visible (connecting a node to my mouse cursor), but the way is not actually created when I finish. I end up with a few new, unconnected, untagged nodes but no new way.

There are no exception dialogs or messages to the console. The consistency check menu item doesn't report any problems.

This problem will occur after I've been using JOSM for a little while (sometimes only briefly, sometimes after a long while). It becomes impossible to create new ways for a while, but sometimes the problem will spontaneously fix itself. I haven't been able to figure out what causes or what fixes the problem. (Quitting JOSM and restarting always fixes it.)

I'm still able to create new ways by copying+pasting an existing way, so the problem seems to be with the tool, not with JOSM's ability to create ways(?).

This has been happening occasionally for a long time but seems to be happening more frequently lately.

I'm running on Mac OS X 10.6.2, Java 1.6.0_17.
