Changes (by paull):

  * priority:  critical: causes crash or data corruption => major: does not
               work as expected
  * component:  Vectors => MapCanvas
  * summary:  new features will not display before spatial index is created
              => new features will not display before spatial
              index is recreated/QGIS restarted

Comment:

 Theres a second funny thing that I think is related to this bug.

 - Layer A and Layer B both use the same shape-file to display features of
 that shape-file (in my case: Points)

 - I add points (working with Layer A); The new points are being drawn on
 the map in Layer A; They disappear as soon as I save the changes to the
 shapefile and reappear as soon as I rebuild the index (see description
 above). However: The new points never appear on Layer B throughout the
 process, even though this layer references the same Shapefile as Layer A.

 - It takes a complete Restart of QGIS to have Layer B display the newly
 added points as well. Zooming, panning, disabling and reenabling all
 doesn't work; the only way to force Layer B to refresh seems to be a
 restart of QGIS.
