lately there was greater damage of map data made by a potlatch user who dragged a large wood (~3000 nodes) area by accident (and who was unable to repair his fault - maybe a newbie).
as this also happend to me (using potlatch for over a year now with several 10k edited nodes) by trying to pan around, i think it would be a good idea to [[BR]]

enable dragging of ways only after pressing additional key (shift, alt, crtl, or some combination of it)

Good idea.
I also had some "accidents" if I want to move a node and because I not clicked it exactly I moved the whole way...

Could you tell me which way it was (i.e. the id)?

In 0.9a (r7761) dragging ways was made harder by requiring the user to hold-and-drag, rather than simply dragging. I could perhaps extend the "hold" time required, but am a bit loth to add a modifier key, as Shift-clicking ways is already used (for merging) and Potlatch doesn't use Ctrl anywhere.

the way which was cause for all the rumble on the talk-de mailing list has the ID 24553409.
i don't know anything about who did it and how the dragging of this way occurred.[[BR]]
but it did also happen to me (i was able to repair the damage instantly - hopefuly) last week (afaik 0.9c) with ID 23567114, while i was trying to pan the screen and the flash player was somewhat unresponsive due to a lot of loaded ways.
the shift key is already in use to add nodes to a way, so the ctrl-key would be a good choice to enable dragging.
