Description

when using unique classification, the removal of features from a certain class makes this class NOT go away when you re-classify the layer.

Reproduction:
- open qgis and generate a fresh point-shapefile with one string attribute 'foo'
- in editing mode digitize 3 features all with another value for foo (aaa, bbb, ccc)
- now apply unique classification, you should see three classes
- now remove one of the features using the edit/delete feature functionality in attribute-table view (ending up with only two features: aaa, bbb)
- now reclassify the layer: ccc keeps coming up as a class/value
- I have seen an example in which even restarting qgis this kept being the case (?????)

This happens in both 'new' and 'old' classification

I would see this as a bug, people using this classification as an legend in a layout will have non valid values in there legends

Or is there another explanation?
(my explanation? somewhere there is a caching mechanism which is not refreshed? (let's forget the restarting of qgis... don't know what that was....).

Tested with 1.6 on windows and in debian

History

#1 Updated by Marco Hugentobler over 14 years ago

From a quick test with new symbology, this seems to work ok with current trunk.

#2 Updated by Richard Duivenvoorde over 14 years ago

running 4f143c0c (SVN r15652) trunk here on ubuntu: still this problem

One thing: after saving the shapefile I also saved the project. (in real it was actually an excisting project).

can it be something with handles to the projectfile (which also holds the classification?)

reply to self:

sorry marco did not read your reply good enough. Indeed in trunk NEW symbology seems to work. OLD symbology not working.

IF this is the last 1.* version we can decide to leave it as is.... and spend energy on 2.* bugs ...
