Hi,

I tested the new qgis 2.4 feature "Label features multiple times" on the attached layer, but it doesn't work.

To test it:

1. Label with field: "desvia"
2. enable "merge connected lines to avoid duplicate labels" option
3. put any value on "repeat"
4. no label is repeated (see the road "VIA GIUSEPPE VERDI", for example, that is a long road)

Putting it to Blocker since it's a new feature of 2.4 that is not working

• priority_id was changed from Normal to Severe/Regression

it works if "merge connected lines to avoid duplicate labels" is not active, make kind of sense to me(?).

---

• subject was changed from "Label features multiple times" doesn't work to "Label features multiple times" doesn't work if "merge connected lines to avoid duplicate labels" is active
• category_id was configured as Labelling
• status_id was changed from Open to Feedback
• version was changed from 2.2.0 to master

the point is that in the "Visual changelog for 2.4" http://changelog.linfiniti.com/qgis/version/2.4.0/

it states that:

"This also works in combination with the "merge connected lines to avoid duplicate labels" option."

I would very much appreciate if this patch could be applied. We paid for this feature - so we have an interest that it works properly.

Thanks for reviewing!

I have not heard a 'no' from my question as to whether the pull request can be pushed for 2.4, so I will review it tonight with intentions of pushing it to current master.
