Description
Running v1.7.3 'Wroclaw' on 64 bits windows 7 machine.
Using one CRS for my project (WSG-84 UTM 33N EPSG:32633) I figured it would be nice to create a shapefile with polygons in plain WSG84-lat/lon (EPSG:4326). No special reason for it, just a whim. However, the projection of new shapefile projection was a total screwup.
Here's what I find with ogrinfo -summary
Layer name: test1_originalSRS
Geometry: Polygon
Feature Count: 3
Extent: (516090.757943, 7524045.000971) - (716205.736382, 7703464.547432)
Layer SRS WKT:
GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",
DATUM["WGS_1984",
SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137,298.257223563]],
PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],
UNIT["Degree",0.017453292519943295]]
As you can see, the Extent is in what looks like UTM coordinates (and assuming zone 33N they are where I expect them to be). Those coordinates don't mix very well with WGS-84 projection parameters... Using UTM (meters) where you expect degrees will clearly produce bogus.
For your amusement I've uploaded a screenshot of what it looks like when you import the new shapefile into Qgis. That's EPSG:4326 like you've never seen it before!
Additional information: code rev. 00624b3, GDAL/OGR v 1.8.1, postgreSQL client v. 8.3.10, spatiaLite v 2.4.0, QWT v 5.2.1.

as for the previous ticket you filed, please try qgis-dev with osgeo4w, I think also this was already fixed. Thanks.

Installed qgis v1.7.4, and I get exactly the same error as before.

can you test qgis-dev/osgeo4w? it may have been fixed but not backported.

Just tested to create a new polygon shapefile in WGS84 in a EPSG 32633 project, and the result seems fine in qgis-master
GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",DATUM["D_WGS_1984",SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137,298.257223563]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],UNIT["Degree",0.017453292519943295]]

Can you please test qgis-master and see if it works fine for you? Thanks
