I can select, delete, and add tags to nodes and ways. I can add more nodes too, but I can't make new ways. When I click, josm just places nodes but no way connecting them. The only way out is to upload changes so far, quit and restart josm. This looses me lots of time - downloading the same area over and over. 

This don't happen as long as I only make new ways or make the existing ones longer. It seems to occationally happen when I add a freestanding node (point of interest) or add a node into the middle of a way.

In this mode, adding another node into the middle of a way requires shift+click, unshifted click doesn't work the way it usually does. 

It has been like this for a few weeks, as long as I have used josm. The latest version did not help. It happens with or without the mappaint plugin.

Versions:
Josm 484, java 1.6.0_03, on linux-2.6.22 on amd64.
