Description

I have come upon this simple situation where I want to copy a point from one shape file layer to another shape file layer (see attached files).

Actions to reproduce:

  • Copy the point from layer A.
  • Enable editing on layer B.
  • Paste the point to layer B.
  • Disable/save editing on layer B.

I get the following error report:

Could not commit changes to layer B
  Errors: ERROR: 1 feature(s) not added.
  Provider errors:
      OGR error creating feature -7: Attempt to write non-point (MULTIPOINT) geometry to point shapefile.

The WKT of the point is: 

POINT(698816.3309880435699597 6166510.01372888591140509)

Layer A is the result of using the QGIS\\Vector\\Geometry Tools\\Multiparts to singleparts and I would expect the geometry type of the layer to be POINT.

ogrinfo reports the following:

INFO: Open of `A.shp'
        using driver `ESRI Shapefile' successful.
  1: A (Point)

What is happening here?
