Map data view - possibility to view only POIs and not areas

[gorn]

The map data view is very very slow and it is not easy to select some features. It used to be possible to swith on only points (swich of areas) which was what I used 60-70% of times, when I needed to view some data. It would be nice to have this option back.

Areas are always switched off now - the option you want is now always on.

Really? If I look at
http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/50.08296/14.42299&layers=D
than what I see is lots of building oulines which can be selected.

Yes, but only by clicking on their outline, not by clicking in the middle of them. That was why the option existed before, because otherwise you wouldn't be able to select something that was behind an area because clicking on it would (or might anyway) select the area instead.
