Dear list,<br><br>I have found the following behaviour working with a
polygon shapefile in both qGIS 1.7-MacOS10.6.8 and 1.9master under
Ubuntu12.04-64bit. It originally happened with the 'Merge shapefiles
into one' feature in vector tools, but I've been able to recreate it by
simply selecting a polygon and use 'save selection as'. It does the clip
just fine, but some of the fields in the dbf are modified. As an
example (which will illustrate is much better than my words), I have uploaded an example shapefile 'ex.shp' on this <a href="https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B9GhaNrWEIadUkFmREVxSnJRRW8">link</a> which contains two polygons. If
you select one of them and 'save selection as', it creates a new
shapefile (I'm attaching in the zip 'ex_cl.shp' for one of the two). The field
'ALAND10' is modified and gives a negative number when in origin it was
positive.<br>
<br>Any clue about what is going on here? Am I missing something?<br><br>Thank you very much in advance,<br><br>]d[<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>============================================================<br>Daniel Arribas-Bel, PhD.<br>
