Description

When trying to rename a symbol in the QGIS symbol manager to a name which already exists, QGIS crashes.
This can easily happen when working in a symbol group and the existing symbol with the same name is in another group or when the symbols are of a different type.
If a new symbol is created in the symbol manager and the name which is entered already exists, a meaningful error message (name already exits, replace?) is correctly shown.
Minidump is attached.

Hi, thanks for working on this!
Just tried opening the style manager in 2.6.0-1 stable (OSGeo4W, 64bit, Win7 SP1). When trying to rename a style to a name which already exists, no error is shown and the previous style seems to be replaced by the new one (here an overwrite warning would be helpful). After closing the style manager, I tried to reopen the style manager, which led to a crash (minidump).
When saving a style in the layer properties dialog and using an existing name, a warning message is shown. After accepting to overwrite the existing style, QGIS crashes when opening the style manager. So something still seems to become corrupt when overwriting styles.

#3 Updated by Giovanni Manghi over 9 years ago

  • Affected QGIS version changed from 2.4.0 to 2.6.0
  • Resolution deleted (fixed/implemented)
  • Priority changed from Normal to Severe/Regression

confirmed, and in previous qgis releases did not caused the crash.
