Editor won't display nodes



Hi there - I'm setting up a weathermap today!

Things are looking good - got all the manual stuff working. That is, I
can build maps using the weathermap program from the CLI. If I create
a test config with two nodes and a link, the weathermap program will
render that and it looks as it should. Nice!

Our final map will have 30-40 nodes overlaid on a map of the US. As
such, to get each node positioned, using the editor was my next step.
And the editor half works! The editor created an empty config, added
and displayed my US map, and then I moved the timestamp.

Here's the thing:

When I added a node to the map, the editor reloads the page and just
um stops. No error on the webpage. None in the logs. Just a plain
white page. No HTML at all, in fact.

Looking at the config, I can see that the node was added. It looks
like (indented for clarity):

        # Node definitions:
        NODE node07599
                LABEL Node
                POSITION 567 117


        # End of NODE section

The editor won't render that node. When I delete the node definition
by hand, the editor runs again. I've tested this a few times, both
with the 95b and 96t1 versions editor.php.

How do I troubleshoot this? I'm not familiar with php enough to know
where to start.

Cheers and thanks for hopefully saving me from doing this by hand.
Fiddling with pixels is something I'd like to leave behind - we have
better tools now. :-)

Thanks again,
Joshua
