Hi,<br>
<br>
Editing the active layer is appropriate, but you may need to snap to
another layer even if it is for reference.<br>
The best would be for the user to be able to tell which layers to
use as a snap.<br>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I noticed that by default QGIS is set to edit ALL layers and
also snaps to ALL layer by default. I do think that this is a
bad default setting, esp. with larger projects.</p>
<p>We had issues because users had WFS layers in their project
(read only, as reference) and QGIS tries to index these WFS
layers and to get their vertices in order to snap to them. Then
QGIS hangs and freezes and there are network time outs.
Apparently one has to kill QGIS using the task manager.</p>
<p>I think the better default is to edit and snap only in the
active layer by default.</p>
<p>Opinions?</p>
