Do any of the current scripts have an automatic fix for this and I did not realize what it was talking about so never new it was there?

For those interested, in the Wiki thread above, I posted results from some tests in Live Map and so far I have only found routing problems that are unrelated to the Same Connection issue.

Just noticed this morning, with FF23 I am getting an error "WME Toolbox - Loader Update Needed". It gives me a link to download the latest version and I do that. It says it installs 1.0.7. I have restarted Firefox, but the error continues to come up. Did I miss something earlier in this thread? I actually see the toolbox menu, but I cannot do anything with the editor as the error message has control. I can only disable the script or go to the link to download the latest version again (which does not change the problem).

LOL. And when I hit return I found my problem. I had two Toolbox script versions running. I disabled the one that does not include "[loader]" in the Greasemonkey list and all seems to be good now.

And now a new problem. With this new script version running, I cannot select any streets. When I do a permalink, I can hover the mouse over a segment and see it highlighted like I could select it, but once the Toolbox script loads and shows me the toolbar the segment is no longer highlighted with the mouse and no segments or junctions can be selected.

Have not tried disabling all other scripts, but can later tonight.

I don't see this problem, in Chrome and Firefox.
I found it is connected to JNF, but of course when I disable JNF the toolbox will no longer work. Didn't have much time last night to play with it, so will need to try again tonight.

I did create Transparent as a redirect to the Keyboard Shortcuts page for "a"

:)
Wouldn't that be more of a WME Validator function?

I assume by your description this results in a two segment junction.
I think this is a great idea. I am constantly having to use "i" to build a road just to bifurcate a segment, then delete the newly added road. This would be so much easier.

Maybe we could get Waze to eventually add it to WME "soon". :roll:

And perhaps a quick note in the turn restrictions text.
We already have what I think is a pretty detailed description on the arrows:
https://wiki.waze.com/wiki/Map_Editing_ ... d_turns.29
It is also linked to many new terms like:
  • Turn arrow
  • Turn arrows
  • Arrow
  • Arrows
And many other things already. If there are other terms anyone can think of let me know and we can link them.
