potential data corruption: way nodes aligned in line upon upload

[richlv]

this is just to note a potential problem - it is possibly not a real bug; if there are no other reports like this, feel free to close it.

description :

i spotted a way[1] that was incorrectly straightened out, as if somebody accidentally had pressed 'l', not spotted the breakage and uploaded the way (that was way version 13, last edited by user 'remonts'). i fixed the way manually and uploaded it in a new changeset (version 14 did touch the way, but did not repair it, and it was already broken in version 13).
then it turned out that my upload was _also_ corrupted in a similar way, the only difference being that previously the way was offset to the south of it's correct location, now it was offset to north.

while it might be a user error, it is a bit unlikely, as i did fix it manually, visually reviewed it and it was, as far as my sanity is concerned, valid when i pressed 'upload' :)

additionally, it would be quite a coincidence for two users to mess up same way the same, well, way.

and for changesets that broke the way, we both used same josm version (4279)

this way has been fixed since then, but for the reference :

most likely a pebkac after all, closing
