Description
1. add grass polygon vector
2. identify too
3. there will be non-existant .Area "column" displayed in the column tree
Reporting area is a nice feature, but it would be better to have it reported some other way - not suggesting that there is an .Area column in my datatable. Don't confuse the user. Please separate area report from the layer column tree.
Thanks,
Maciek

I don't think it is user misleading - each of these special attributes starts with dot (.AREA for polygons, .LENGHT for lines) so it is easy to find out which attribute is attribute from table and which is the special attribute.
Btw. it is not only Grass layers related. This 'Idetify feature' window is shown for all non-editable ('Allow editing' unchecked) layers.
