Re: [Rails-devel] 18EU leftover stations bug (was 2x Bug Reports 18TN Rails 1.7.3)

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

Unfortunately I have no time until tomorrow to look into this. Maybe it 
is better to get Erik opinion on this, he knows the 18EU merger mechanism.

However I noticed recently that in general layed tokens get not removed 
on undo (or going back in report history which is in fact the same 
action). They only get removed if the tile changes on which they got 
laid. Most likely that is a related issue.

And one should keep in mind that Frederick changed the UI mechanism of 
the token display, so one should look into that.

Will wait with 1.7.5 until I have time to look into that.

Stefan
