Re: [Qgis-user] After deleting points, attribute rows persist

[Micha Silver]

Thanks to both Harrissou and Andreas for pointing out the difference between the node tool and delete feature... The new node tool takes some getting used to. When a node is selected (also a single point) then the visual indication that it is selected disappears (used to be blue in 2.18) so using the "delete feature" option didn't occur to me. I just hit the delete key. On 1/7/19 5:25 PM, DelazJ wrote: Hi Micha, The Node Tool is not meant to remove features, but to edit/remove their geometries. Your feature persists in your dataset through their attributes and you can later use the "Add part" tool to create a new geometry. https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_vector/editing_geometry_attributes.html#vertex-tool For full deletion (data + geometry), you should use the the "Delele selected" tool, with a red bin.

Is this expected? I'm using 3.4.3, and I don't remember that being so in earlier versions. I removed the "phantom" rows by selecting by _expression_: '$geometry is null' and then deleting. Still the behavior was surprising. I hope this is not a resurrection of https://issues.qgis.org/issues/11007 ?? Thanks -- Micha Silver Ben Gurion Univ.
