[Qgis-user] Symbology: switch off automatic classification

[Nathan Woodrow]

Hey Tammo,

This is a feature as having to click classify each time when changing
the values was confusing to users so I changed how it works a while
ago.

Currently there is no way to turn it off.  You could save out the qgis
qml file and hand edit it to have the new column.
