history view revert regression

[dieterdreist]

Some time ago, in the history view (ctrl + h), when you clicked on a value with the right mouse button, and selected "restore selected tags", it would instantly restore them. Now apparently nothing happens (the UI is not updated), but when you click into another field the one you restored before will become visible / updated. This is a regression because it worked before.

Can't reproduce that here with latest version r18934.

• Add any relevant information like error messages or screenshots.

To ensure that all technical relevant information is contained, create new tickets by clicking in JOSMs Main Menu on Help → Report Bug.

Remember: This is a generic notice so we don't need to write the same stuff again and again. It may only apply in parts to the specific case!

Like GerdP, I too could not reproduce using r18934.

I think I understood what happened: when you restore a value from a history version without already having modified the relation (or object in general) in question, JOSM will do this but you might not see it instantly in the currently open history view because this operation would create a new version (e.g. 3) while the current history view would still be comparing (e.g. versions 1 and 2). After selecting the most recent version, it works as expected.

Ah, ok, I only looked at the properties window on the right and there the change is visible immediately.
