[Qgis-developer] QGIS Crash - Serious problem in 2x

[Ted]

Hi Developers

Encountered a very serious problem, looks like this issue is there in 2.x

Ways to reproduce;

1. Add a world boundary shp file in wgs84 (you can use other files too)
http://thematicmapping.org/downloads/world_borders.php

2. Open the print composer, add a new map

3. add scale bar

4. close the composer, return back

5 remove the layer from layer list

6. boom, qgis crash


hope you can fix this soon, thanks


The scale bar issue

1. When a file is degree (wgs84), the scale-bar in print composer is
useless since its trying to use the map unit.

2. Its logical that, in map composer its always linear map unit as in
meter, feet, km, etc

3. using qgis in schools and this pose a serious issue, since the users
dont understand projection etc.

4. the expected behavior is, immaterial of underlying projection the
scale-bar should have the option to use linear map unit, specially meters,
km, mile

5. read in stackexchange, this is a known issue. hope the dev community can
help to fix this one.


thanks a lot.

hurt my fingers, not able to type proper :(


cheers
ted
