Waterloo Ring Road Sheared. Is this a glitch?
ߊ߬ ߟߊߦߟߍ߬ߣߍ߲߬ ߦߋ߫ z-dude ߓߟߏ߫ 5 March 2011 ߦߋ߫ English ߟߋ߬ ߘߐ߫Currently, it seems that the west half of UWs Ring Road is translated 1 km to the south-southeast.

However, the zoomed in view shows it normal.

Is this a rendering bug, or temporary glitch? I find it hard to believe that it was sloughed off to the side since April. The way history shows it was last edited in April 2010.

Sometimes, we see odd translations of ways...

Don't know what to tell you. It couldn't have been some new user accidentally dragging it; that probably would have been fixed by now.

Just looked at it in Potlatch and it turns out that it actually WAS translated to the southeast. Anyway, I fixed it and soon it will look fine (once the map updates).

It's just that the way history didn't show any edits to that road since april which made me think it was a hardware glitch.
Looking at the node history seems to clear things up. Sorry about the fuss.

Z18 tiles aren't necessarily re-rendered if nobody's looked at them, so they can be a bit behind the times.

Just noticed another path that had gotten moved near there and I fixed it. Seems like some new user accidentally dragged these ways w/o realizing it.

compdude, you don't have to be a 'new' user to accidentally drag a street. Sometimes you're panning while the streets are still loading, and if you blink while panning, it could happen easily.
It could happen to any of us.

@alexz,
Yes, i know what you mean. Anybody could have screwed it up without noticing it. Potlatch 2 should at least have a warning that you dragged a way (like in P1), or they should remove that functionality altogether. I don't know about you, but most of the instances I drag a way, it's an accident.
