[Qgis-developer] Behaviour when create new features

I have created a ticket for this: http://hub.qgis.org/issues/11607

> (2.6 Testing indicates that disabling and then re-enabling editing while editing but not “finishing” a feature shows that you continue editing the same feature; I’m not sure that’s very intuitive, hence item (b).)
Jonathan, could you create a ticket for the other one, I guess You are more into this part?

Kind regards, Casper

These are both bugs.  Just need to open a ticket for them.

Personally I’d think there are two bugs here, at least from a user-interface perspective, even if they’re not from a technical one:


a)     Edits showing when editing was disabled (I’ve seen this one myself).


b)    No warning that the edited features hadn’t been “finished” when saving and/or when disabling editing.

(2.6 Testing indicates that disabling and then re-enabling editing while editing but not “finishing” a feature shows that you continue editing the same feature; I’m not sure that’s very intuitive, hence item (b).)

I have an inexperienced QGIS user who needed to draw some simple line strings. She created a new shapefile layer (line type), enabled editing and used the “Add Feature” button to draw a line string.


-          She didn’t right click to finished the feature when she was done!

She saved the alterations (none because she didn’t finish the feature creation process) and disabled editing. Upon opening the layer in another QGIS instance, the feature she created was missing – obvious since she didn’t entirely created it.

Why did she though that she had created it?

Because even though she drew the line string (without saving it) and disabled the editing, the left over line string remains visible on the screen. You cannot click it, get feature info and so on, but it appears to be exactly where she created it.

I don’t know if this is created as an issue but is this the expected behavior when creating and aborting new features?

This applies to QGIS 2.4 and 2.6.


Kind regards, Casper
