Comment:

 Hi

 Editing of metadata in QGIS is not supported. The reporting of ymin ymax
 is carried out by the underlying provider (gdal/ogr) in your case. The
 provider looks at the bounding box of all features in your dataset and
 sets x/y min/max accordingly. This is not a bug, but normal behaviour.

 I am closing this ticket, feel free to continue the discussion with
 clearer explanation of the issues if needed, being sure to provide small
 sample datasets that can be used to replicate the issue.

 Regards

 Tim
