Looks like SAGA issue

#2 Updated by Paolo Cavallini about 8 years ago

Possibly - cannot test now because of saga API break. However at first it worked, as shown by the images on the training manual.

This is a SAGA thing, and not really an issue, but an improvement. Basins that "touch" the boundary of the layer are affected by the so-called "edge contamination", since you dont know what is upstream, and catchment area values (from where rivers and basins are computed) are not sound. So looks like SAGA decided to not add those basins.

In any case, i suggest updating the exercise screenshots, and to not consider this a bug
