Description

Hi
Using SAGA Difference in processing I try to create a new layer with the result as a difference between the two layers.
It gives a 'strange' result.
I have controlled for illegale geom, overlap and duplicates - OK

If I use select by location the result is correct.

This bug is in saga itself - use the native QGIS difference tool instead, it's well tested, faster, and more robust.

#2 Updated by Pedro Venâncio over 5 years ago

This seems a bug in SAGA version 2.3.2, used by QGIS.

I've just tested Difference algorithm with Lene dataset in native SAGA 2.3.2 and 7.2.0, and 2.3.2 gives the problem described, but 7.2.0 gives the correct result, as you can see in the images attached.
