[Qgis-developer] Intersection of two lines design

[Bernhard Ströbl]

Hi,

I use QgsGeometry.intersection() and QgsGeometry.difference() in the 
DigitizingTools plugin (cutter/clipper) and I did never experience any 
errors in these functions no matter if the geometries share a vertex or 
not (neither during my tests nor during courses I gave nor in the bug 
tracker). So I wouldn't say this is generally true. I wonder, however, 
why it seems to be a problem in processing.
