Setting "simplify-way.max-error" has vanished?

[bdiscoe]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Open the Settings dialog: Advanced Preferences.
2. Look for the setting "simplify-way.max-error"
3. It isn't there.

What is the expected result?

It's been there for years, and it's in the documentation at https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Help/Action/SimplifyWay

What happens instead?

I just downloaded this new JOSM version (12921) and the setting does not appear.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible.

It's still here. It's just that if you did not change it to a custom value, JOSM does not know this parameter until you run the action at least one time. So you can:

• create the parameter manually
• or call the function "simplify way" one time before looking for the preference
