Potlatch shows strange blue rectangle when editing from some GPX traces.

when editing from GPS traces. For example:

20081004_121101.log.gpx

which can be found here:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/traces/tag/High+Wycombe

I get a strange big blue rectangle which overlaps the GPS trace. Thus making it not visible and, therefore unusable. I have taken an snapshot in a PNG file which I am attaching to this ticket. That image shows clearly what I mean. This happens in potlatch 0.10d in Windows (work) as well as in Kubuntu at home.

Weird - works fine for me (OS X). I presume from the URL that you're getting the trace by clicking "Edit" rather than the GPS button in Potlatch, right?

Hi Richard,

yes, I click in the edit link once the trace was loaded and that brought up Potlatch. It happens in Windows XP as well as in Kubuntu. But it doesn't happen at all zoom levels. If zooming out eventually it disappears.
I am going to fire up one of my Thinkpads that has Fedora 8 installed to see if it happens there too. I don't have access to any computer with OS X.

Also it happens with some other of my gpx traces. I am not sure but it appears to me that this happened since potlatch 0.10d but didn't happen before. But I am not 100 % sure about this.

Please advice if you want this communication copied in trac.

Thanks for looking into this.

Alex

It happens in Fedora 8 as well. It happens with traces I did a while ago. I remember that I edited those traces in potlatch and that didn't happen. So I suspect this is a fault in the latest version of potlatch. The rectangle originates from the first trace points going upwards.

Have identified the issue, it is indeed new in 0.10d. Will fix asap though doing so is going to be a PITA. :(

Fixed in 0.10e - a 0.10d enhancement had broken it. I'll think of a better way of reinstating the enhancement when I have a minute.

Thanks Richard,

Yesterday when I was in my weekly bike ride around High wycombe I was thinking which route to follow to map so that the traces didn't get obscured by that rectangle. But then I thought, what the heck? They will fix it eventually, won't they?

I am glad to see it is fixed so soon.

Thanks again.

0.10e should be along in the next couple of days.

Until then, there is a workaround. When you click 'edit' by a track, you'll see the URL ends with ?gpx=222423 (or something).

But instead of doing this, go ("manually" as it were) to the right place on the map, and click the edit tab.

Now edit the URL, and add &gpx=222423 - just what you had before, but with & instead of ? - to the end of it.
