Description

  • load a layer
  • add labelling > correct
  • go to either graduated or categorized style, and do not press the Classify button
  • the geometries disappear (not nce, but correct)
  • also the labels disappear, which I believe is unexpected.

History

#1 Updated by Martin Dobias almost 9 years ago

Only visible features are labeled, so the behavior is correct. Maybe just better to warn users when using graduated/categorized/rule-based renderer and no rules have been specified.

#2 Updated by Paolo Cavallini over 8 years ago

  • Subject changed from Labels disappears if a style is not classified to Warn users when using graduated/categorized/rule-based renderer and no rules have been specified
  • Category changed from Labelling to Symbology

I'm a bit puzzled by this, but that's OK.
Changing the title and category of the ticket according to your suggestion.

#3 Updated by Nathan Woodrow over 8 years ago

I think that is the correct thing to do in this case. We do really need a No Symbol render that would still allow for rendering the labels.

#4 Updated by Paolo Cavallini over 8 years ago

This can be done with no brus - no line, but yes, its' cumbersome.

Still true in QGIS 3. I believe users should be warned before applying an empty style.
