Description

I'm trying to implement a workaround for making a Print Composer legend for a symbol that has two characteristics: size (related to one variable) and color (related to another). The workaround consists of duplicating the layer and showing the characteristics separately.

In the attached file, you can see that the symbols for "Number of visitors" show correctly in the Legend "Item Properties" dialog, but they don't appear on the Print Composer legend itself.

I find the Print Composer extremely frustrating to use, because of its multiple bugs and inconsistencies.

Yes, it shows the symbols as expected. It seems no longer possible to collect the different size symbols inside the largest one, though, which is a nice feature; instead it shows them all spread out.

The issuer says it works as expected on 2.18, so this could not be a duplicate after all. Can the issuer confirm it please?
