[Qgis-user] I ended up with a strange thing when I tried to split a feature

[Joshua Kennedy]

Hello

I’m getting started with QGIS, have worked with ArcGIS several years ago.  I’ve run into an issue and I hope maybe I can get some help here.  

I was trying to split a polygon feature using the “Split Features” tool in the Advanced Digiitizing toolbar. From there I started trying to draw where I wanted the polygon to be split.  But I was having trouble getting the tool to go in the direction I wanted, and then I ended up with this odd network of line segments on top of the feature I was trying to split.  It’s red with green X nodes and then one dotted red line that goes off into the distance. I can’t undo it. I can’t select it. I remains even when I hide all layers.  I  closed the document without saving it and it was still there when I reopened the document.

Is this normal, or is it some kind of bug? 

I’m using QGIS "2.8.1-Wien" on a Mac OSX 10.11.3

thanks  

Joshua
