The "delete part" and "delete ring" tools work with a sensibility that is taken from the "search radius for vertex edits" configuration. Feature or bug?

We have noticed that under windows (xp, vista, seven) and linux (ubuntu 9.10) the tool just works if ones clicks on a node of the part to be deleted. Clicking inside of the part doesn't produce any effect. Using trunk, rev. 12096.

We are developing a project with simple polygon layers in a projected CRS (20790 and 20791), project crs 20790, otfr on, a raster loaded (in the 20790 crs).

Well, at the end I found that the "delete part" tool (and I suppose also the "delete ring" tool) do works with the same configuration for "search radius for vertex edits". Is this on purpose?

If someone can confirm that this is on purpose than we can close this ticket.

I think it makes sense to use the vertex edit tolerance, because with those tools, you select a vertex of the part / ring

• resolution was changed from to invalid
• status_id was changed from Open to Closed
