Layer effects having unexpected render issues in Print Composer #23619
Comments
Author Name: Nyall Dawson (@nyalldawson) Jamie - I hit this issue once myself but unfortunately lost the project and couldn't find a way to reproduce it. Is there any chance you could share this project file? |
Author Name: Jamie Portman (Jamie Portman) there is a LOT in the project... I'll see if I can strip it back but manage to retain the glitch! |
Author Name: Jamie Portman (Jamie Portman) Hi Nyall, I've managed to strip back the project and isolate when the problem occurs a fair bit! The issue is only visible in the print composer, it always looks perfectly as expected in the map window :) Hope this helps. Jamie

Author Name: Nyall Dawson (@nyalldawson) Perfect - exactly what I needed, thank you. Looks like the issue is caused by the marker line style drawn underneath a layer with effects. |
Author Name: Nyall Dawson (@nyalldawson) Fixed in changeset "a0bfc10c568e3e4f54a7f43ca285e2e7b11a194a".

Author Name: Jamie Portman (Jamie Portman) Thankyou Nyall, you are awesome! I take it this fix will flow through into both the next LR and LTR releases? |
Author Name: Nyall Dawson (@nyalldawson) Yes, I'll backport it to the current stable releases too so it'll be in the next point releases. Just going to test a few other things first - I think there may be a slightly better way to address this. |

Hi,
I have search a bit and can't find any previous threads or reports of this issue...
We have encountered on numerous occasions, some bizarre results in the print composer when using layer effects (particularly a drop shadow).
Everything looks fine in the map canvas, but on refreshing the print composer, random triangles are seen (in the base color of the shadow used... black, white, solid blue, etc.)
Frustratingly, it doesn't happen all the time on any particular layer. The screen shots attached are from a project I've been working with no problems for nearly a month, and then today it just starts happening and the only way to get ride of it is to remove the layer effects. Annoying, as this feature is awesome and makes the final map have a much greater impact!
If you export to PDF/JPG the additional, unwanted triangles do transfer to the final result.
The triangles in this particular layer all appear on lines that have a significant change of direction, I'm not sure if this is always the case.
Apologies, if I'm not supposed to assign a ticket to a person... this is one of very few times that I know the developer that came up with the feature!
