Description

Offset curve tool very frequently duplicate the last line created instead to make a new curve. The tool looks like work correctly, you can set the distance of the curve but when you close the operation the line disappear and you can see that he has duplicated another line (the one created before). Restarting qgis solves the problem but after some new curves created with the tool, the problem apears again.

Tested on QGIS 2.14.0 x64. W7

Yes confirmed here. When looking at the logs on postgis side, the offset tool sends the wrong id, so it updates another feature.
It causes data corruption so I raise the priority of this one.

I just tested on 2.18.4 with shapes and postgis and while a few times didn't worked as expected (it just reverted to the original line) the vast majority of tries produced the expected result.

Please try 2.18.4 and report back. I'm lowering the priority to "high" because I'm not sure this has ever been a regression.

We found the problem in QGIS 2.18.19 and it is related to saving:

We use two layers, we do not create the offset-vector in the original layer, but in a new one:
Layer 1 is the base layer (with vector-A, vector-B, etc..)
Layer 2 is the layer for offset (with offset-vector-A, offset-vector-B, etc..)

1) Use "Offset Curve" on vector-A
2) It creates an offset-vector-A (in layer 2)
3) Save
4) Use "Offset Curve" on vector-B
5) It creates an offset-vector-A's duplicate (in layer 2)
6) Use "Offset Curve" on vector B again
7) It creates an offset-vector-B in the new correct position (in layer 2)

In other words, if you save between an offset and another, when you try to use "Offset Curve" again, the first time it creates a duplicate of last offset-vector created, the second time it creates the new correct offset-vector.

P.S. In QGIS 2.8 it worked without problems.

Set as regression given that it seems to work in 2.8

Is this still an issue in 3.2.3? I can't reproduce.
