[Qgis-user] QGIS 1.7 (Print Composer) stability issues (Win XP)

[percy langa]

Hey all,



My experience with 1.7 has been good and really bad.



I really like the new features, especially the ability to switch between Old
and New Symbology. The trouble started with Print Composer. First, it was
Legend issues (a white band appears at the top of the Legend, extending to
the top of the Composer). After a bit of troubleshooting (I switched off all
the layers in Map View and switched them on again, one at the time), the
Legend was almost working again (but really slow). The 'white band' would
only be present if certain layers were added to the Map View.



Secondly, and the most critical issue, is that QGIS crashes when I save the
Print Composer as an Image (tiff). 'Save as PDF' works fine.



So, after a few crashes yesterday, I re-installed 1.6 and I am happy again.



Funny thing is, a few months back, before 1.7 stable was announced, I had
both 1.6 and qgis-dev working fine. Hopefully I'll spend a bit more time
troubleshooting the 1.7 issues.



Machine: Win XP, Service Pack 3



Cheers and keep up the great work,

Percy
