Description
Dataset: congressional voting district data (http://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/geo/shapefilesrd13/main)
Use only selected features: not checked
Segments to approx: 5
Buffer distance to field: Some field with different values per row
Dissolve buffer results: not checked
Im trying to calculate the shape that's the viable interior of each district (exact computation at my website https://sites.google.com/site/mathagainstgerrymandering/advanced-attributes#TOC-Viable-Interior-Index).
Creating the viable interiors one by one ("use only selected feature") works like a charm, but does not create the correct shape if I try to calculate for every district at once.

Thank you for looking at this Giovanni - I just looked at it again and found the problem instantly.
The buffers layer I am creating does not have the same projection as the underlying layer. Once I created a new project, re-imported the data, and chose the appropriate projection, everything worked like a charm.

this sound strange anyway (I would expect the buffer to be created with the same CRS of the input), but anyway it would be a different issue.
