History

#1 Updated by Giovanni Manghi about 15 years ago

If I'm not wrong there were a few changes/fixes since 1.2 in the legend. Please try a newer version (1.3 or trunk) and report back.

#2 Updated by Giovanni Manghi about 15 years ago

tested under xp with qgis >= 1.3 and no crash. Please test again and leave feedback.

#3 Updated by Milena Nowotarska about 15 years ago

I can not confirm crash for 1.3 nor trunk 11818.

But something else happens: layers are changing their order when changing visibility, they even jump to the oter group of layers.

Also so called "Files" may jump out of main layer, see attachement.

yes you are right, it does happens, and if I'm not wrong there is already a ticket about it. But don't close this, it may help underline the problem. Just change the title as the original problem your reported has been solved.

#5 Updated by Mayeul Kauffmann over 14 years ago

I can confirm that "sometimes" (hard to predict) changing the visibility of a layer makes it move up or down in the layer panel (qgis 1.4.0 on Kubuntu 9.10).
I changed the priority from minor to major: the goal of the layer panel is to organize panels into groups to facilitate finding your layers; randomly "jumping" layers prevent the layer panel to reach that goal, especially when you have numerous layers in a project.

Can anybody tries if now (from c43e11e4 (SVN r13643)) legend works as expected? So I can close also this ticket.

#7 Updated by Giovanni Manghi over 14 years ago
