I can verify this same behavior on Win7 with QGIS 2.4 64b. I think it has to do with the shapes crossing the 180º line. If you zoom in to a smaller area that includes only countries in one hemisphere, the borders look OK. Also, it's not only Robinson and Mollweide: any global projection will show strange trapezoids (even "Google" mercator)
I also see that if you use the *spatialite database file* from naturalearthdata.org this problem disappears. You can switch to other world projections with no problem.

I don't think the image came through, but the problem is that every polygon ends up as a trapezoid, so I end up with a collection of overlapping trapezoids

Hi all,

I'm using the KyngChaos install of QGIS on the Mac (Mavericks and Lion, on different machines), and I've been having problems with  projections including Robinson and Mollweide from QGIS 2.2 onwards.

Everything was fine in QGIS 2.0, but in 2.2 and 2.4, re-projecting a world Natural Earth shapefile to a Robinson projection, for example, gives this:

  Any idea what might be going on, and how to fix it?

Thanks,
