[Qgis-user] QGIS V3.18 - V3.20 project file problems

[Tony Shepherd (FarmMaps NZ)]

Hi All

 

Has anybody had any issues with project files saved in V3.18 opening
incorrectly in V3.20?

 

Specifically, I am having 3 annoying issues..

 

1.	Any manually shifted labels no longer appear in the correct place in
3.20.  As a double-check to make sure I am not going mad, I open the project
in 3.18, labels are perfectly placed. Open the same file in 3.20 and any
labels that have been manually shifted now all appear offset to where they
used to display.  At a glance, I'd say the offset is constant (ie a bit west
and a bit north of where they show in 3.18). Any default positioned (ie not
manually shifted) labels still look fine.
2.	I have several virtual layers in my project file, essentially
combining two layers together using SQL.  When opening the project file in
3.20, QGIS stops on-error saying it can't find the layer(s).  If I then
choose to continue and keep the "broken" layer in the session, then
right-click and edit the virtual layer, press test it passes the test and
then I can then add it back as a layer.  So it was never eally broken at all
as all I had to do was press test? All the correct data appears in the
virtual layer edit dialog box, so it's not broken or missing..  I'd hate to
have to go through all 20 project files individually to fix this one!
3.	If any layer I use has masking enabled, when displaying on the
layout window it seems that all vector layers are now offset from raster
layers. So as a test I turn off masking, go back to the layout and press
refresh, and it all looks fine again.  Re-enable masking, go back to layout
and press refresh, then again the vector and raster no longer align.  It
looks like only when masking is enabled.

 

Has anybody else experienced this?

This behaviour does not happen in 3.18.

 

You may wonder if the CRS has anything to do with it, I'm using
predominately ESPG2193 (NZTM 2000) and Google raster and also some local
coordinate system rasters (seems to not matter in my case). 

 

Big wraps to the 3.20 team for making it possible to move the leader line
start and end nodes!  This is a great feature!

 

Cheers

Tony
