Description

Hi,
very blocking issue here with 2.12.1 (BTW could someone add it to target versions in redmine?).
with snapping options and topological editing enabled, moving some endpoints of polylines snaps the target line, but also will snapp vertex from ANOTHER unrelated feature to it.
Hard to explain, see video here

I have a complex editing project, created with 2.10 at start.

This bug prevents me from doing the edits I need... blocker then. It deserves backports if reproduced and solved.

History

#1 Updated by Regis Haubourg over 8 years ago

Tried to test on master, and add a crash when changing default projection (was otf 3857 and layer in 2154). So ... I could not test

Tested on 2.8.4, no issue there.

#2 Updated by Jakub Kosik about 8 years ago

It is same issue I've noticed in earlier versions (look at issue #10957 dig3.png).

More, it happens only if I have more than one legend entry to same dataset.

#3 Updated by Giovanni Manghi about 8 years ago

  • Target version changed from Future Release - High Priority to Version 2.14
  • Affected QGIS version changed from 2.12.0 to 2.12.1

#4 Updated by Martin Dobias about 8 years ago

  • Status changed from Open to Feedback

Hi Regis, would it be possible to share the project, cut down to bare minimum of layers (maybe 1-2) when it is still possible to reproduce the bug? Feel free to send directly if the data cannot be shared publicly.

#5 Updated by Daan Goedkoop about 8 years ago

Recently I have come across something similar. It might be the same bug. While digitising, with snapping but without topological editing, the pink snapping "+" would suddenly appear outside of any feature and not at any existing vertex. When clicking it, the created vertex would (after finishing digitising) end up snapped to some seemingly random vertex way outside view. Interestingly, the node tool did not seem to be affected in this case.

Unfortunately I forgot to save that particular version of the shapefile and now I cannot reproduce the problem anymore.

#6 Updated by Daan Goedkoop almost 8 years ago

Just now I noticed this issue again. It is not reproducible for me. For what it is worth: the problem remained after saving any edits to the shapefile. However, when I save the project, close QGis and open the project again, the problem disappeared. Does that mean that this problem is a different one, than the one described in this bug report?

#7 Updated by Giovanni Manghi almost 8 years ago

This issue seems serious, but I haven't found a way to replicate. Could the reporter attach a sample project with data? Without it is difficult to at least replicate. Thanks.

#8 Updated by Sylvain Beorchia almost 8 years ago

Hi. I've got the same issue, and i'm able to reproduce it every time. I will provide a Qgis project with a small postgres DB.

#9 Updated by Paolo Cavallini almost 8 years ago

Which snapping settings are you using? Which CRS?

#10 Updated by Sylvain Beorchia almost 8 years ago

The problem occurs only when "Activate topologic edition" is enable in snapping options. CRS is 2154.

#11 Updated by Sylvain Beorchia almost 8 years ago

Here is a ZIP containing 2 shapefiles and a Qgis project.
Open the qgis project, and search for the branch id=1212. Edit the layer and try to connect the top vertex of the branch(1212) to the closest arc. You have to enable snapping, and "Enable topological editing".

Good catch Sylvain! I can reproduce it here at first try.
I never managed to reproduced the bug outside of my complex postgis project and share a sample project.
This is pretty serious indeed.

If you change the snapping setting to Vertex only, it works fine.

There was another bug related to the precision of snapping tolerance for the node tool, which I think could be related to this issue. Will try to find and link it here.

#16 Updated by Giovanni Manghi over 7 years ago

  • Status changed from Feedback to Open

the error as described in #13952-11

is still valid on the latest master.

#19 Updated by Sandro Santilli over 7 years ago

Confirmed as of 2.14.3 -- Snap to Segment Only is enough to reproduce (#note-11)

#20 Updated by Sandro Santilli over 7 years ago

2.8.9 is not affected, 2.12.1 supposedly was (as for original submission)

#21 Updated by Sandro Santilli over 7 years ago

2.10.1 is NOT affected either, so new range is good:2.10.1 bad:2.12.1

#22 Updated by Sandro Santilli over 7 years ago

  • Status changed from Open to In Progress

I've tested 2.12.0 to be also bad, so bisect range is 2.10.1..2.12.0 -- bisecting started

Marco, could you take a look at this ? There's been lots of changes but no testcase:

A QGIS version with the offending commit reverted is available on https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/3248.
I confirm that reverting the commit fixes the random snap.

Adding debugging prints I came across this computation in QgsLinestringV2::closestSegment that does look wrong:

src/core/geometry/qgslinestringv2.cpp: 775: (closestSegment) [1ms] XXX ST_Distance('POINT(771938 6.95593e+06)'::geometry, 'LINESTRING(771946 6.95593e+06,771904 6.95595e+06)'::geometry); -- 0.0220404

That's coming from this snippet:

    testDist = QgsGeometryUtils::sqrDistToLine( pt.x(), pt.y(), prevX, prevY, currentX, currentY, segmentPtX, segmentPtY, epsilon );
    if ( testDist < sqrDist )                                                   
    {                                                                           
      QgsDebugMsg( QString("XXX ST_Distance('POINT(%1 %2)'::geometry, 'LINESTRING(%3 %4,%5 %6)'::geometry); -- %7 ")
        .arg(pt.x()) .arg(pt.y())                                               
        .arg(prevX) .arg(prevY)                                                 
        .arg(currentX) .arg(currentY)                                           
        .arg(testDist)                                                          
      );                  

The debug suggests that QgsGeometryUtils::sqrDistToLine() is broken, because PostGIS gives, for the ST_Distance call, a value of

3.43946864321886
, which squared becomes
11.8299445476857856634618596996
.

Qgis instead gets

0.0220404
which is way below sqrSnappingTolerance:6.40146, explaining the problem.

Next step would be adding a testcase for QgsGeometryUtils::sqrDistToLine().

#27 Updated by Sandro Santilli over 7 years ago

A focused testcase, pushed with f0e0ba5bb0f844e9ee28eb9572340f31ae13c6ee, does not give the same bogus result. I'm still debugging how could it be possible to obtain the bogus result (some state implied?)

#28 Updated by Sandro Santilli over 7 years ago

Printing more digits gives a matching result between PostGIS and QGIS:

ST_Distance('POINT'::geometry, 'LINESTRING'::geometry); -- 0.143113367679915

( it's actually 3.378 which squared gives 0.1431 )

But I found that the LINESTRING part is the FID of the geometry being moved, not FID=11, so this makes me think that the distanc used for FID=11 (the one which should not move) is just a leftover value for the variable computed for FID=27) -- or something along those lines.

#29 Updated by Sandro Santilli over 7 years ago

New finding: the distance to the fid is correct but the layer is different. We have 2 layers, both contain a fid=11.
The one bogusly snapped is from layer "arc", and is too distance. The fid=11 from the layer being moved (branch) is instead close (as we actually move the vertex right on top of it). The code gets confused as for which vector layer to snap geometries from.

Setting snapping options to "currentLayer" rather than "All Visible Layer" fixes the issue.
Adding another layer with the same geometry as fid=11 from "branch" adds another arbitrary FID to the list of those snapped in any visible layer.

Basically, if I'm seeing this right, all geometries with a given FID value are snapped from any visible layer, rather than FIDs being isolated for each layer.

Pull request ready with a fix: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/3251
Can be fetched from https://github.com/strk/QGIS/tree/snap-to-proper-layer

With the fix, behavior is back to the 2.8.9 one, which seems sane enough (maybe not 100% expected, but safe).
The only thing missing would now be an automated testcase to save the many hours spent on this ...
