Description

Hello,
the new core function labeling "abc" is absolutly best.

In extrem situations, it seems to have a malfunction.

When labeling with abc in a vectorlaxer is on and you set the scale less 1:3, qgis crash.
Picture is attached.

#1 Updated by Médéric RIBREUX over 14 years ago

I am not able to reproduce it with trunk code under Debian Squeeze.
What are the operations you made to get it crashed ? What do you mean by new labelling ? Does it means advanced labelling (rotation, font, placement with layer attributes) ?

Hi,

its not the item in the layer properities. Its the labeling feature ABC shown in the attached pic 2.

#3 Updated by Médéric RIBREUX over 14 years ago

Hello,

thanks for your explanations... This new labeling plugin is experimental (as the new symbology system).

I am still not able to reproduce the bug with the 1.5.0 trunk (under GNU/Linux Debian). I can "zoom" to 1:3 (and even 1:1) without crash.

Perhaps is it MS Windows specific ?

What if you try to set the scale with the zoom-in tool (focus on the label and try to zoom in progressively until 1:3 or less) ?

Perhaps the bug is related to free labeling placement only... (It crashes a lot with this mode) ?

#4 Updated by Gerhard Spieles over 14 years ago

Hello,

in a new project with only the layer, i wish to label, all is ok and I can zoom 1:1, 2:1 ....
Adding more layer to the project and zomm in, then Qgis crash.
I@m not competent enough to localize the problem, but it seems, that the labeling feature has a memory leage/problem, when data gows up.

Gerhard

can you post a sample of the data that is causing the crash?

#7 Updated by Giovanni Manghi over 14 years ago

Hi,

no crash at any scale level with the labelling plugin active. I'm under ubuntu 10.04 with qgis 1.5. Can you test this under a different platform?

#8 Updated by Gerhard Spieles over 14 years ago

Hello,
tested it on win vista 32bit and qgis crash also.
Programms behavior iS: with every zoom in, the programm needs more time to display the map until qgis crash near scale 1:3.

#9 Updated by Giovanni Manghi over 14 years ago

Hi,

I tested your vectors with the new labelling engine under qgis 1.5/osgeo4w in Windows Seven and I cannot replicate the crash.

#10 Updated by Gerhard Spieles over 14 years ago

Hell0,

I@ve just tested it on a new build win7 machine and qgis crashed (see attachment)

#11 Updated by Giovanni Manghi over 14 years ago

can you please test QGIS in english (en_us)? it is the only difference I'm seeing.

I tested myself and no crash.

In the labelling plugin, what configurations are you using?

#13 Updated by Giovanni Manghi over 14 years ago

ok got it.

There are configurations in the plugin that as a fact make qgis eat memory and then crash as described in this ticket.

Just use one of the attached vectors and then choose for example "using perimiter". A scales around 1:1 it starts eating memory and then crash. Maybe this happens with other configurations. It does not crash with the default one, "around centroid".

Hi,
picture with labeling configuration is attached

#15 Updated by Paolo Cavallini almost 13 years ago

  • Category changed from Symbology to Labelling
  • Pull Request or Patch supplied set to No

Please deactivate all plugins and check if the problem still is there. Looks a local problem.

#16 Updated by Giovanni Manghi almost 13 years ago

  • Target version changed from Version 1.7.0 to Version 1.7.4

#17 Updated by Giovanni Manghi almost 13 years ago

  • Target version changed from Version 1.7.4 to Version 1.8.0
  • OS version deleted (xp sp3)
  • Status info deleted (0)
  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Crashes QGIS or corrupts data set to Yes
  • Affected QGIS version set to 1.7.3
  • Subject changed from Qgis crash with new labeling (abc) and scale less 1:3 to Crash using the new labelling engine at very high scales
  • Status changed from Open to Closed
  • Priority changed from Low to 6

It is not a local problem. It is confirmed on 1.7.3 that at very high scales, when the new labelling engine is used, QGIS starts eating memory, take a lot to render features and labels and ultimately freezes/crashes. This at least happens under Windows/osgeo4w BUT on master it works ok.

The attached project is good to make tests and replicate the issue.

I'll close this as fixed, but probably would be better to try backport the fix for the 1.7.x versions.
