[Qgis-user] Overview window problems?

[Benoit EXIGE]

Greetings,

Qgis version 1.4 & up to 1.5 from Osgeow on winXP sp2.

Problem description:

Open a project and then open the overview window (empty), add a raster  
on the overview and to the main window. Zoom in into the raster in the  
main window. Overview shows full raster extent and the zoomed  
rectangle. All fine up to here.

A) Now click on the overview to select it. Press the space bar and,  
surprise, the overview shows the zoomed raster. In other word the  
overview has become a dumb replica of the main window.

B) Restart project and instead of (A) above click on the main window  
to select it. Press the space bar and the raster suddenly zoom out to  
the same size it has in the  overview window. What is disturbing is  
that if another layer is also displayed in the main window this layer  
is keeping its zoom state!

Can someone confirm this behaviour, is it a known problem? Is there a  
workaround (but to not use the space bar)?

I've started to notice the behaviour from version 1.4 up to the latest  
trunk I'm using (downloaded yesterday).

Regards,
Benoit
