Description

This was found on QGIS 1.4, from the ubuntugis-unstable repo and Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic (I couldn't set Ubuntu as platform in the ticket properties):

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a new Qgis project and add some layers to it.

2. Create a print composer an add some items to it.

3. Save the project and close.

4. Open the project again. An empty composed window opens on top.

This window can't be closed but can be minimized or sent to bottom. QGis is still usable and on opening the saved composer it replaces the empty window.

This issue still exists, but obviously does not affect all users. I just bought a new computer... my old computer had qgis 1.5 installed on Ubuntu 9.10 (32 bit) from the ubuntu gis repo. This version did not have this problem. I recently bought a new computer, installed ubuntu 10.04 (64 bit) and installed qgis 1.5 from the ubuntu gis repo. On this version, when a qgis project is opened, all saved composer workspaces open when the project is opened and all of the composer windows are blank. As cited above, these windows can not be closed until you go to the composer dialogue and open each composer summarily and re-close them. This can be a real annoyance if you use the multiple composer ability to its fullest as I do, where some projects have as many as 20 composer spaces.

#3 Updated by Goyo D about 14 years ago

It was fixed (for me at least) when the bug was closed but now I can
reproduce it again following the same steps as in the original report.
QGis 1.5 from ubuntugis, Ubuntu 10.04.

Cannot reproduce that bug with current trunk. If it still exists, a more specific step-by-step description is needed (e.g. which items are used, kde or gnome, ...)

#6 Updated by Goyo D almost 14 years ago

The attached file designed_bug.tar.gz shows the bug in my Ubuntu 10.10 64 bits setup (gnome).
qgis 1.6.0+svn14522~maverik1 from qgis.org repository.

Can't reproduce it in Windows (osgeo4w installer). Also not reproducible in a VirtualBox VM using Lubuntu 10.10 (LXDE) and qgis 1.6.0+svn14528~maverik1. Maybe only affects to the 64 bits package? -- Weird enough.

I have to test also if something if my user configuration can cause this.

Confirmed that the problem does not show in a new user account so it is related to user settings.
The weird thing is after deleting ~/.qgis and ~/.config.QuantumGIS the abnormal behavoir is still present. I don't know where else to look.

#8 Updated by Marco Hugentobler over 13 years ago

Is this bug still true and reproducable?

#9 Updated by Goyo D over 13 years ago

Still, using QGIS trunk on Maverick.
Strangely enough, it does not happen using Natty using the same user directory.

#10 Updated by Goyo D over 13 years ago

I no longer have Maverick installed so it's unlikely that I'll be able to reproduce the bug anymore. Maybe this bug should be closed unless somebody else can reproduce it.

#12 Updated by Kudret Güleryüz over 13 years ago

I am having this bug on Ubuntu 10.04.2 running 1.7.0. I can provide whatever feedback you might need. Using GNOME Desktop environment... Deleting ~/.qgis or ~/.config/QuantumGIS does not help.

#13 Updated by alicebtoklas - over 13 years ago

The same for me with 1.6.0 on ubuntu 10.04
See #4022

#15 Updated by alicebtoklas - about 13 years ago

This bug should be reopened. It still happens in 1.7.1. I also use GNOME environment.
