On a JOSM upload, if a potential problem such as a single-node way is found, a dialog box appears:

JOSM validator box

Is it possible to copy details of the errors from this? It seems not to be.

If by "copying" you mean "put in the copy-paste buffer", then it seems to be possible at a basic level:

  • Get the dialog to appear or even use the validatior tool in the sidebar
  • Open all branches of the tree using the mouse
  • Type Ctrl-A to select all and Ctrl-C to copy
  • Open your favorite text editor and type Ctrl-V to paste

It returns something like

Warnings

TestError [tester=org.openstreetmap.josm.data.validation.tests.CrossingWays@7a48772, code=601]

...etc

Which is only mildly useful. This works for me, JOSM 6232 on Linux.

That works for me too now. Must have been user error at my end previously.
