[Qgis-user] Legend block behaviour in composer

[Richard McDonnell]

Nyall,

While the legend is selected go to *Item* *Properties*, *Legend Items* 
there is a tick box *Auto Update* untick it.
I think this should do what you want, the problem is though that if you 
add other layers and wish to add them, change them, they wont be added 
to the legend unless you refresh, which will result in a resetting of 
the layers, hope this helps.

Regards

Richard.
