[Qgis-user] QGIS hanging and bad shapefile export

[Marco Pasetti]

Hi Gavin,

I tested it on my notebook running Windows Vista Home Premium (where the 
releases of QGIS and GRASS for MS-Windows are built and packaged).

After loading a shapefile I quickly zoomed on selected records from the 
attribute table; no bugs reported.
I tested the same thing loading a GRASS vector layer: same result, no 
problem at all.

I guess it's a specific XP problem, but, at the moment, I don't have an XP 
machine to test on.

I'm afraid, I don't have ArcGIS (nor any ESRI product, actually).
