Text annotations in Print Composer

[qgib]

Author Name: Ross McDonald (@mixedbredie)
Original Redmine Issue: 10400
Affected QGIS version: master
Redmine category:map_composer/printing
Assignee: Nyall Dawson

---

I create a set of text annotations spread across my map canvas and set them to a fixed map position. I create a new print composer and add a map frame. If I zoom in on a particular part of the map to see some of the detail I see the text annotations I created in the map frame. However, text annotations that are not in the map frame are still drawn and appear outside of the map frame. I would expect text annotations drawn on the map canvas to only appear within the map frame in print composer and not outside of it. See attached screenshot example.

I am using QGIS master e4d0f15 on Windows 7 32bit.

Hopefully Nyall is the correct person for the bug.

Having had to use QGIS and Print Composer to create a series of complex maps with lots of text annotations added to the map I feel this should be fixed for 2.4 with a higher priority than normal as the user has no control over the display of the text.

blockers are the regressions (and this may be one, you should test older qgis releases) and high priority are issues that make a certain functionality unusable (so it is not the case).

I am still getting the text annotations to display outside the map frame on the print composer. I have attached screenshots of the problem in QGIS 2.0.1, 2.2.0 and two different builds of master from OSGeo4W and QGIS master on Linux Mint from the nightly builds.

What is the version number in the title bar. Your version still might not be up to date yet.

Your build doesn't include that fix yet. There should be a new one in a day or so.
