<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Courier New"">But I also just noticed that after 2 features were selected and merged it stayed visible (not grayed out) even when nothing is selected. Kind of strange behavior. When clicked on
it gives the error message that not enough features are selected. I guess sometime somebody will fix it to RESET to grayed out after every operation so it can’t be clicked on until something is selected. . . .</span></p></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>If you feel it's a bug, you could submit a bug report...</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/development/bugreporting.html">https://www.qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/development/bugreporting.html</a> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="overflow-wrap: break-word;" lang="EN-US"><div class="gmail-m_3477046037910557464WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Courier New""><u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Courier New"">Also, I wonder if anybody knows what it would take to get a Vertex Tool “line segment center point X” changed to a more easily visible color. It must be a simple thing. But I can’t
be the only one that can barely see it (unless the pointer is right over it, which means you already know where the selection/grab point/X is) the X that is somewhere around the middle of the visible portion between two vertices. The farther zoomed out you
are the easier it is to see it, but a lot of times you are <u>zoomed in close</u> when working with things. Maybe make a good SOLID
<b>BLACK X</b> that is easy to see in contrast with the red line background it has (rather than gray that kind of blends in and is entirely within the red line background when
<u>zoomed in close</u>) and then when the pointer is over it rather than a darker red maybe a bright yellow or green or something (anything that contrasts more than red on red). (???)</span></p></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I agree that the marker is not boldly visible, but with my 66 year old eyes I don't have a huge problem seeing it, neither when it's reddish-grayish over the pale red highlight of the line nor when very near, when it turns solid red. In my display, once the marker turns solid red, the pale red highlight goes away.

Hi Jeff,<br>
probably you will find useful to use the "Merge Selected Features" editing tool available in the "Advanced Digitizing" toolbar or the "Edit" menu:<br>
