"Create circle" creates new way instead of updating existing

[skyper]

Thanks for your work guys.

1. draw way with four nodes where the last three form a triangle
2. select last three nodes and create cirle (Shift+O)

A new circle way is created above the triangle instead of changing the triangle part into a circle.

See attachments for example osm

What to do with this ticket ? Is it a really good idea to replace triangle part of a way with a circle ?

Replying to Balaitous:

Does it hurt ?

In my user experience I used this function to only form a circle and not to add a circle on top of a triangle and it is no problem to split the way at the junction point.

It does not sound a good idea to me.
