Redmine category:vectors

If you want to join 2 shape files on an attribute column, QGIS crashes.

Workaround: first save (one of) the shape file(s) as csv, then do the join

Scenario to reproduce:

1. Open a new project
2. Add a shape file
3. Add a second shape file
4. Go to "Properties" of on of the shape files
5. On the "Join" tab create a join with the other shape file
6. Crash.

Have you tries by removing/disabling ALL the 3rd party plugins (and restarting QGIS)?
Can you attach sample data/project? Thanks!

Not confirmed here on a clan 2.18.7, Windows 7 environment. Please attach sample data and/or try with no 3rd party plugins.
