Yeah, i do this way always , but maybe i don't get write it correct in English (not my born language) Let me try to change a chapter:
The way you described used by me all the time, line touches polygon in two points where it can be cutted and worked on forward very well (anyway thanks!)
But, if you draw a line that touches multypolygon - cut tool ain't works in places it touches multypolygon (not allowed - showed as gray)
You may have to download the the data for the whole lake. Select the way you want to split. Under relations you should see Lake Алла-Аккаярви and to the right a download button, a delete button, and button with a square and a dot in the center that highlights the whole lake. Just press the download button and you should be able to split it.
Thanks , i will try it 👍
