Description

My colleagues and I have been experiencing QGIS crashing with a minidump error whenever we try to select and delete nodes, see attached for error message.

This has occurred both when multiple nodes have been selected and attempting to delete all of them, as well as upon deleting the last remaining node in a polyline.

The issues doesn't seem to occur when attempting to select and delete the features rather than their nodes.

We're planning to install 2.8.2 soon so I'm not sure whether or not this would be an issue in that version also. The issues wasn't experienced in 2.6, and only seems to have occurred in 2.8.1 over the past 2 weeks or so, prior to this there didn't seem to be a problem.

NB we're running Windows 7 Professional.

  • Priority changed from Normal to High

please try upgrading and/or renaming temporarily the .qgis2 folder (to ensure there isn't a 3rd party plugin that is interfering with your installation).

Attaching a sample of the data would also help.

Hi Giovanni,

I renamed the .qgis2 folder, but it simply just recreated itself upon opening QGIS again.

I have now tested this in 2.4 and 2.6 with no issue, however the issue does occur in 2.8.2.

I've also tried re-creating the error with brand new line and polygon layers and found it didn't occur, so perhaps it could be an issue with my polygon and polyline layers. However, my colleagues who are also experiencing this issue are not using the same layers as I am.

I have attached a sample of the polyline data for you.

Thanks,

Christine

yes this is normal, but in the new .qgis2 folder you don't have the 3rd party plugins you may have installed.

Anyway, after renaming .qgis2 and restarting qgis, does it still happen?

Yep, it still happened even after that.

It happens when you select and delete all the nodes with the node tool.
