Ah - I guess that works. Still, is there any reason duplicate doesn't keep it in the same place?

Now wait a second - that doesn't work. I merged selection to a new layer, made some tag edits, and merged back, and now it's giving me conflicts because it sees them as the same ways.

Well, OK, I guess copy-paste rather than merge selection works. It's still counterintuitive.

It works. You only have to zoom/focus on the original way and then duplicate.
Have a look at josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Help/Action/Duplicate

Not for me (Windows XP, version 3329, Java version 1.6.0_17) - it puts the new objects where the mouse pointer is when I hit ctrl-D.

Move the mouse pointer out of the map view before pasting.

Seems Java changed behaviour. Even old versions of josm don't support this anymore.

Another note:
You can copy to the center when additionally pressing <ALT>. Under Linux I need to use <ALT-GR> and choose paste from menu. When you copy to another layer and choose there again and copy back, then you copy to the exact position.
Why the "move cursor out of window" does not work anymore is not totally clear. It seems the last move event does not properly vanish as expected.

You could always paste to center using Edit → Paste. The current implementation takes the last recorded mouse event and uses its coordinates; otherwise it pastes to center. I have a patch that directly grabs the cursor’s coordinates and uses those which makes the suggested behavior easy to implement. Also, according to the comment in MapView “lastMEvent” *should* contain the last mouse event. So I don’t see why it should be cleared (or why it should vanish), as stoecker suggested.

I’ll commit after stabilization because the new behaviour might be confusing for people.
You can copy it to a new layer and then merge the layer back.
