Description

Hi ,
I upgraded Qgis 1.1 to 1.7.2 this morning. There is a major bug in map scale display in map canvas. It displays enormous numbers. I'm under Windows XP. I used standalone installer. project projection and data are epsg 2154 (France Lambert 93).
Side effect of this, all visibility levels are misinterpreted by qgis.

In my opinion, this is a critical bug, if confirmed, and requires an update of installers recently launched.

Sorry for that Gary. Régis

#4 Updated by Regis Haubourg over 12 years ago

The bug seems related to projection behaviour.
When i switch project projection to IGN:LAMB93 (ID10089), scale is OK. When I go back to epsg 2154, wrong scale comes back. 

EPSG:2154 is the old epsg definition for lambert 93. Datas I use are defined in EPSG:2154. 
If i reproject on the fly to 4326 WGS84, scale stays wrong. If I switch to IGN:LAMB93, then switch to 4326, scale is OK..

I've installed 1.7.2 on a fresh XP here

Loading your data in it, makes it a epsg:4326 project with your data loaded as epsg:2154 (which is ok). At that moment the scale shows huge numbers (as you show),

BUT after setting the project crs to epsg:2154 also AND setting the units to meters (were degrees with me, don't know why. epsg:2154 is a projected crs isn't it?), the scale seems ok to me?

#8 Updated by Regis Haubourg over 12 years ago

I think you found the bug. It seems that Qgis keep decimal degrees as units in memory, when on the fly reprojection activated. User interface is greyed out and meters are checked as units on screen.

Playing with those parameters (activating meters units / checking on the fly reprojection) generates Qgis crashes! Something strange lying under.

  • Target version set to Version 1.7.2

yes, confirmed here both on a machine running XP with osgeo4w (and upgrading from 1.7.0 to 1.7.2) and a machine running XP where I installed a fresh 1.7.2 via the standalone installer:

- as soon as you have some 'recently used coordinate reference systems', and you try to select one in the crs tab of the Project properties, go to the first tab and then back to the crs tab qgis just crashes. In the event viewer there is only a message about a crash in a qt-treewidget

- on the osgeo4w I also installed the dev/nightly version, and that one does NOT have the problem

You should backport also commit c0dc60b9d30bb0d1ed2f4c814e6169c87ac376ce, both this and mine (98d5a7665ce75bc2f406e89f4efc755995d30a73) fixed crashes in select projection dialog due to commit 2034d59a2f503f7bec3d2f15c163d37e661ec26b (a very dangerous change because it's into a showEvent method: a one-line change has required 2 other commit to work well again!).

No, no way to reopen the ticket... Ok, I'm going to open a new ticket for the crashes.
