[mapserver-users] Multiple bounding boxes for WMS layers

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

Hiding layers issue?  Ticket #1905 does not really have much do do with it, even it may be hard to find the layer if bounding box is missing. Are you sure you were looking at the same ticket number?

Hi!

I'm sorry, but i can't see the relevance to the hiding layers issue? Maybe I
just don't get this?
