Confirmed on Windows XP Pro SP3: I can create a new field but can't delete any existing field - Delete button is disabled

Seems that this problem is OGR-related. OGR can't delete fields

- Resolution set to wontfix

QGIS queries the provider, if I can delete attributes. Depending on it's response the buttons are enabled or disabled. For the shape case OGR cannot delete attributes and therefore the button is disabled. Once support is added to OGR, QGIS will use it. So I'm closing this ticket.

There's no bug - QGIS supports removal of shape attributes since GDAL did.

Sorry, I am using QGis version 1.8 on Ubuntu 12.04 and after I recompile under gdal 1.9 the option works fine. Thanks in advance
