actually the result of the GetPrint (with the above request) when the
project is saved in 2.18 is this one

https://www.dropbox.com/s/hfsvul4uy3h5uqa/qgis_server_without_none_option_2_18.pdf?dl=0

and the legend shows "?" in place of layer names (see above). So I
really think this is a regression possibly caused by the removal of
this "none" option.


I would appreciate if any QGIS Server/map composer dev can chime in here.

cheers
