[Qgis-user] QGIS V 2.2 editing vector environment not functional

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi,

It is not true that the 64bit version is less stable than the 32bit 
version - please do not claim such things unless you are really sure 
about it. They are generated from the same code base and there are more 
users on the 64bit platform, so why should it be less stable? The only 
difference is that it is built on the 64bit versions of the libraries. 
In fact, if you own a modern version of Windows, you are likely running 
a 64bit Windows in which case we recommend running 64bit QGIS.

As Bernhard said, I assume that the editing problems you have are due to 
CRS issues or the OpenLayers plugin. Please note that the OpenLayers 
plugin is not officially supported by QGIS and is kind of a hack (using 
a webkit webbrowser to satisfy Googles terms of use) - You may not even 
be allowed to use it to digitize data on top of it. The Google terms of 
use forbid the creation of derivative work. Esp. digitizing on top of it 
is forbidden. For OSM and other data sources supported by the OpenLayers 
plugin the story may be different. But if you use OSM data, I would 
recommend to import the original data, which you can reproject and 
style.
