Description

When splitting a line that is self-intersecting (e.g. a GPS-track), with the split tool from the advanced digitizing toolbox, the line is split into multiple parts at each intersection instead of only two parts at the chosen spot.

As I can see no benefit from this behaviour, I regard it as a bug.

Tested with 3.4.4 on Linux Mint, with a Shapefile and a SpatiaLite-File
