Description
When Relation Editor windows are open and the relation is changed in the main editor window, there is an indicator in the top left, showing that a refresh is needed.
I often don't notice that, make more changes and cause a conflict with myself. The worst kind.
It would be relatively easy to avoid this by disabling all the buttons that cause modifications, until the user presses that refresh button.
It might make sense to do this in the other direction as well. Open some Relation Editor Windows. Make some changes. Then go to the main window and split a way that affects such relations.
Would it make sense to give a dialog stating it would be better to save changes in the relation editors first? Or would that be heavy on resources?
In an ideal world the save button and the refresh button in the relation editor are never active at the same time, I'd say.
