<p>Tim</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #1081: Old .qgs project causes GUI messhttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/1081?journal_id=168672008-07-09T23:13:27ZTom Elwertowskitelwertowski@comcast.net
<ul><li><strong>Resolution</strong> set to <i>wontfix</i></li><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>Open</i> to <i>Closed</i></li></ul><p>I consider the priority of this bug to be minor. Although it results in visual corruption, it does not cause a crash or corrupt data. Since the visual corruption is caused by attempting to open a project for which no layers are present, a workaround is to quit, restart and don't open the project again until the layers are available.</p>
<p>For qgis 1.0, I consider this bug 'wontfix.' The fix is to redesign the render code. This could be a task for the next major release (2.0) but not sooner.</p>
<p>This type of visual corruption occurs because Mac paint events are not interruptible. Interrupts are caused by calls to processEvents() inside paint events; removing them requires a redesign.</p>
<p>I suspect there are also Mac problems using a QGraphicsScene with an offscreen bitmap. Mac rendering has been unstable ever since QGraphicsScene came into use for map rendering. The conflict is that QGraphicsScene tries to do visual optimizations and qgis render code also tries to do visual optimizations. I recommend using either QGraphicsScene or an offscreen bitmap but not both. Mixing the two seems to confuse Qt/Mac.</p>
<p>One final comment. I encounter some sort of visual corruption almost every time I use qgis (on a Mac). Usually the window title, window controls and toolbar buttons get drawn inside the map canvas. Doing additional work redraws the items correctly. Doing yet more work causes more visual corruption again. The details of the corruption change with each Qt release but will continue until map rendering becomes Mac 'event safe.'</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #1081: Old .qgs project causes GUI messhttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/1081?journal_id=168682008-07-09T23:16:32ZMateusz Loskot -mateusz@loskot.net
