Description
When I am editing a Feature in a Line-Shapefile I can delete all but one nodes of a Line leading to a Line Feature with just one single Point.
I think, when Editing Lines with the Node Tool it should not be possible to delete the 2. Last Node of a Line.
It is BTW the same Situation editing Polygons. By deleting all but 2 nodes I can create a polygon with 2 to points...

- Operating System deleted (

by the way, with polygons is possible to save one with just two nodes (after deleting the others with the node tool), creating polygon with area = 0.

I think the correct behaviour should still be to allow <3 nodes in polygons and 1 nodes for lines as a temporary step (see #13099 for reasoning), but then catch these invalid geometries when node tool operation is finalised for the feature.

Hi Nyall, I see your point, but anyway as it is right now in master is a bit confusing. Take the polygon example: the user deletes all but two nodes, as soon as the focus of the node tool switches to another polygon, the two noded one disappear... but after saving edits it re-appear (as a "line"). Cheers!

Right, earlier removing the last point that would make a ring or line invalid (in terms of number of points) in the node tool would also remove the other remaining points.

Ah ok - that makes a lot more sense.
