[Qgis-user] Cannot erase a polygon

Is it possible you drew the polygon as an Annotation object instead of an object in your vector layer? Easy enough to do, and they don’t appear in the layers menu.

Hi Adam,

Thanks for replying. Yes I can zoom in and out of the polygon. I also closed the Project several times and nothing happens.

If it is a QGIS bug, it means I better redo the Project? Or is ther a alternative solution?

Thanks,

Jose

Can you zoom in on the polygon or is it fixed?  If you can zoom in then
it looks like a QGIS bug, but if the polygon is fixed and you cannot
zoom in on it then it looks like a bug in your graphics card drivers.

Have you tried to close and re-open the project to see if that gets rid
of it?

Cheers,
Adam.
