[Qgis-user] shapefiles

[Randal Hale]

Yeah - that's a layer order issue. Just drag that line above your ortho 
over in the layers panel. Select the layer and drag it up. You can move 
stuff around pretty easily in that panel.

If you ever dump a shapefile out of some custom Forestry software it 
could (like something to COGO boundaries or do cruises) it can become a 
projection issue easily. BUT - you're on the right track!
