[QGIS-Developer] [Qgis-user] Split features tool behavior

[James Wood]

Hey Andreas,
I haven't experienced the invalid geometry as you describe, but I did find that my QGIS install had some issues. I have upgraded to 2.18.9 on Win10. If you have a sample of your data available, I would be happy to try to corroborate.
