Description
In a plugin, I create a memory layer.
Then I add a feature in it (via python).
mapCanvas.refresh() does not make the feature visible but mapCanvas.zoomIn/Out() does.
This is truly weird, any hint?

calling vectorlayer.setCacheImage( None ) before refresh makes the feature appearing.

- Target version changed from Version 2.0.0 to Future Release - Nice to have
This would require push-notification (Qt-terminology: signal) from dataprovider to vectorlayer.

did you add the features to the layer or to the provider? The former would probably have worked without clearing the layer cache manually.

yes to the provider, with addFeature

Does that mean it was a misuse of QgsVectorDataProvider::addFeatures(), because this function should only be called from a layer and the correct way to add features to a layer in QGIS is to use QgsVectorLayer::addFeatures()?
Can this issue be closed then?

Well, I wouldn't say misuse - but it's expected behaviour that the layer doesn't notice instantly that the data in the data provider changed. It should be added via vector layer if the intention is to see it right away.
