I posted this as a question to the JOSM bug tracker but no one has answered so I thought I would post it here to a wider audience.
Apologies if this is a FAQ but...
Using the current development version of josm...
If I have some current OSM data which I then edit (move stuff around, delete nodes, etc.) and then I ask for a download of the same area, josm downloads something but then doesn't update the display or even complain about conflicts, it's as if it just threw the downloaded data away.
What's happening? Why isn't it replacing the stuff I deleted and griping about the nodes I have moved?
Thanks in advance to any replies.

Could have 2 reasons:
- You forgot to upload your changes, before downloading it again.
- You did not switch to the correct layer. If you download an area, make changes (or not), and download the areas a second time, you have 2 layers, layer 1 with your first download, layer 2 with your second download. You can switch between the two layers, or "close" one of the layers you don't need any longer...
