20729	Improve validation with data filters enabled	ljdelight	GerdP	"Users de-clutter their editing area by enabling filters to hide/disable objects, and these objects are sometimes not included when a user performs validation and are often hidden from view after validation actually occurs. This may skew the validation results without the user being aware of the issue.

This enhancement is to warn the user when validation is performed while filters are actively hiding/disabling objects. The dialog allows the user to persist their response as the saved preference key 'validator.vallidate_with_filters_action' (values are 'ask' (default), 'continue', and 'fail').


When the dialog should be shown to the user, here's a screenshot and the 'Help' button opens the JOSM Help Browser Validator page (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM/Validator ):

When the 'error' selection is saved, the next time the user runs validation with active filters this error message is shown:

The 'validator.vallidate_with_filters_action' Preference can be configured by changing the radio selection under Edit > Settings > Data validator:
