[Qgis-user] Qgis crashes frequently when digitizing streams over WMS images

Hi Filipe,

I don't have any particular interest in confirming or not a bug. In this
case I cannot confirm. I tested your data for 20/30 minutes and didn't
get a crash. Last week I had to do a job that involved digitizing (using
the same WMS layer you cite) and didn't get any crash in many hours of
work.

Does this mean that the issue is not confirmed? no... but as I tested on
two OS including the one you use it is suspicious that can be a local
problem. The only thing that does not convince me is that you get the
crash on two different machines. Maybe the issue is caused by a specific
QGIS configuration parameter?

Would you be able to test in Linux, so it will be possible to get the
eventual error message from the Linux console?

cheers
