2019-08-06 Thread Stephen Knox
I would just like to draw your attention to issue 30162 https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/31062. I would appreciate any comments on what people with more experience than I do think about my two different ideas to fix this bug. It has clearly been an issue in the past as there are issues
