Description
Using the digitizing tools in QGIS 2.14.3, I attempted to split a one-feature polygon shapefile in half using a line feature from a shapefile. I selected the layer, toggled edit, selected the polygon which highlighted, selected the line layer, then selected the line to highlight it as well. Then used the tool "split selected features with selected line from another layer." This split the polygon along the line but only the lower half continued to be visible. I opened the attributes for the polygon and saw that an additional feature presumably for the other (upper) part of the oirginal polygon had been created. However, this feature is not visible and also does not show highlighting when the attribute row is selected. It is just gone. Consequently, only the lower portion of the original polygon is displayed. I have tried to resave to another shapefile, rebooting the system, but nothing seems to work. I have tried this operation a dozen times, and replicated it on QGIS 2.6 running on a Mac OSX system 10.10.5. I then upgraded the windows system to QGIS 2.16.0 and replicated the bug there as well.

This occurrence can be further narrowed to how the polygon is created. Starting with a shapefile that contains multiple features (polygons), select one of the feature, then "save as," checking "save only selected features" and save as a new shapefile containing only that one feature. If you try to cut that new feature in the new shapefile with a line from another layer, only one half of the polygon is seemingly created.
Creating a shapefile from scratch say with a few random polys, you can cut them properly with the correct behavior.
Use the attached shapefile to create a one feature polygon shapefile to recreate the bug.

This ticket adresses an issue in the DigitizingTools plugin.
The proper place to report it therefore is the plugin's issue tracker.
@Jon: Could you open a ticket there?

I cannot recreate the bug in QGIS 2.14.15 on Ubuntu (see attached screenshot of the split polygon Cottonwood Creek-Wind River).
Please try again with both layers and the project sharing the same projection.
