I made a few edits (moved and removed some nodes) with Merkaartor (version 0.17); then uploaded them. My edits appear under "Changesets" as "(still editing)". Is there another step required to complete the process?

Thanks! The "(still editing)" does indeed change to a timestamp (GMT?) after some period of time.

Sometimes Merkaartor prompts me to save changes after upload; when I do this; I skip the "(still editing)" status. Merkaartor does not always prompt. I tried "File - Save" before upload; but this has no effect.

I don't know Merkaartor, but the message suggests that uploading doesn't close the changeset. You will get the same if you edit with Potlatch 2 and don't use the extra step to close the changeset after saving. It is nothing to worry about as the changesets are automatically closed after an hour of inactivity.
