[Qgis-developer] Dual View: Call for feedback

[Matthias Kuhn]

Hi Josef,

I fixed an issue which could be responsible for the problem you described.

The mentioned popup also appeared if there is a) no display field 
defined and b) no primary key defined. In this case the list will now 
display all fields, separated by a comma.

Regards,
Matthias
