QGIS 3: vertex editor highlights features in non-visible layers

Description

Using vertex editor tool to hover over features, the nodes of those features are highlighted in red. This is fine. But features are highlighted even from layers that are disabled in layers panel. It seems like features that are disabled in layers panel should not be highlighted.

This issue is still occurring in QGIS 3.0.3.

#4 Updated by Tobias Heinzmann almost 6 years ago

I have the same problem. I'm using QGIS version 3.2.0. It shows mainly layers that are disabled when I want to edit a layer. Is there a way to disable this behavior? It makes no sense to show objects that are not in the editing mode.

I had the same problem and noticed that 'Enable snapping by default' was ticked on under the 'Digitizing' options. Unticking this has removed the issue.

A colleague didn't have this turned on after both completing fresh installs of version 3.2.3 so I am not sure why there are differences?

I tested on master, and despite having snapping enabled for all layers it does not work for invibile layers (as soon you enable one of them it works). Please test on 3.2/3.3, thanks!

#7 Updated by Carolyn Krause over 5 years ago

Tested in 3.2.

I turned off 'enable snapping by default' (in digitizing options). Now the vertex editor only acts on layers which are turned on and in editing mode. So now it's behaving the way I expect. It's still slightly unexpected that the vertex editor isn't limited to the selected layer, but that's not really a bug.

Just to test, I turned the 'enable snapping by default' option back on. With this option on, the vertex editor highlights all layers, regardless of whether they're in editing mode or currently visible on the canvas.

So the bug isn't 100% fixed, but turning off the 'enable snapping by default' option is a functional workaround. Thank you!


This might be completely unrelated, but every time I changed the 'enable snapping by default' setting, I got an error message (below). When I click okay on the error message, QGIS doesn't crash, and nothing bad happens. I get the same error message if I open the options window and click 'ok' without changing any settings.

#8 Updated by Carolyn Krause over 5 years ago

This issue is resolved in QGIS 3.4. Non-visible layers are no longer highlighted by the Vertex Editor. And I love the new option to choose between "Vertex Tool (All Layers)" and "Vertex Tool (Current Layer)". Thank you!

I am still seeing it in 3.4.4 on Ubuntu GNOME.

there have many fixed in the digitizing tools in the last days, please give qgis master a try.
