Description

Hi,

The graphical selection on multipolygons, does not recover all entities when using reprojection "on the fly".
example:

multipolygon CRS 3857 + qgis project CRS 3857 + selection of all entities: works well

multipolygon CRS 3857 + qgis project CRS 2154 ("on the fly" reprojection) + selection of all entities: Only few entities are selected

History

#1 Updated by Giovanni Manghi about 9 years ago

  • Category changed from Map Tools to Map Canvas
  • Priority changed from Normal to Severe/Regression
  • Target version set to Future Release - High Priority
  • Affected QGIS version changed from 2.12.0 to master

This worked as expected until 2.8.3

Actually in 2.8.3 if selecting outside the boundaries of a certain layer CRS QGIS shown this message

CRS Exception: Selection extends beyond layer's coordinate system

that is not anymore the case in qgis > 2.8.3

Can you give some more detail? I tried with a few multipolygon layers and couldn't reproduce

#3 Updated by Julien Ancelin about 9 years ago

Here is a multipolygon layer with a "3943 crs".

if the qgis project is in crs 3943, no selection problem.
If I reprojects on the fly with "crs 3857" and I'm trying to select all: some multipolygones are not selected

attached another small dataset.

#5 Updated by Nyall Dawson almost 9 years ago

Julien - I get an error opening that dataset

Giovanni - I can't reproduce using your dataset.

Giovanni - I can't reproduce using your dataset.

open the dataset I attached, enable otf to 2154, try do a selection. Cheers!

I can't reproduce with the latest master.

zoom out to ~300.000.000 and try select all features by click and drag.

If you zoom in enough selection seems to work, but not if you zoom out enough.

It only worked when the projections were somewhat alike. The four points of a rectangle around the extent of the layer in EPSG:2154 were transformed to a polygon in EPSG:3857 that excludes Arabia. 0a83f182 adds 9 points to each rectangle edge and improves it. Selection for more "stronger" projections might still "fail" and need more points (e.g. polar and non-polar).
