[Qgis-user] v1.40 polygon editing in a new layer

[Fred LaPlante]

I am unable to edit nodes in a newly created polygon layer.

Using the node tool I can edit polygons in other layers created with ver 
1.3 and earlier.

But after enabling edits on the new layer, and selecting the node tool, 
no amount of clicking on any node of a new polygon has any effect. Nor 
am I able to delete a new polygon feature (only effect is to remove the 
selection highlighting).

I am using qGIS r12508M, loaded just a few hours ago. 
Running under Windows XP svc Pk 3.
Install was via OSGeo4W.
