Don't be a square: JOSM wants me to only have round buildings
Posted by amapanda ᚛ᚐᚋᚐᚅᚇᚐ᚜ 🏳️🌈 on 16 April 2018 in English. Last updated on 17 April 2018.Well this is an interesting JOSM issue. Whenever I try to use the building tool to draw a building, it goes circular! (Update 17 March: This is a feature, which you can toggle, see comments below)
This happens only on one of my machines. On another, it works fine. I suppose I should nuke my JOSM settings and start afresh.

Looks like you hit one of the hotkeys. Check the data menu

I agree that this is designed to thoroughly drive mad unsuspecting users.

Perhaps, but the bottom left shows what keys & mouse buttons I’m pressing, and all I press is the left mouse button. 🤷♂️
Peek and then key-mon to show the keyboard/mouse status on the bottom left.

@raito That fixed it! And is actually quite obvious! It’s clearly what @mmd was talking about. Thanks to you both! 🙂🙂🙂
