QGIS not recognizing CRS "EPSG:3301 - Estonian Coordinate System of 1997" in MapInfo mid/mif and tab formats

[asko456]

What is the bug or the crash?

1. When exporting mid/mif file with CRS "EPSG:3301 - Estonian Coordinate System of 1997" to another mid/mif file with CRS "EPSG:3301 - Estonian Coordinate System of 1997" in QGIS the Layer Properties--> Information does not show exported layer's CRS --- it is "unnamed" instead of "EPSG:3301 - Estonian Coordinate System of 1997".

2. Possible QGIS bug: when opening mid/mif file, which was created in QGIS with CRS "EPSG:3301 - Estonian Coordinate System of 1997" (although is showing CRS as "unnamed") in MapInfo there is 50 mm gap between original mid/mif's (point 1) tab and tab from QGIS mid/mif. There is no gap when exporting files to and from (tab--> mid/mif; mid/mif to tab) within MapInfo without using QGIS.

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. I open to QGIS a mid/mif file created in MapInfo Pro version 2023 (Release Build 142, Formatting Date 31.03.2021 13:45:00, Formatting number -12345.67). Mid/mif file name is "E_101_kivi_p_sel".

Mid/mif file CRS in QGIS is "EPSG:3301 - Estonian Coordinate System of 1997" (figure below).

In MapInfo the mid/mif file projection (it can be seen when opening mif file in notepad) is also EPSG:3301 and is described as follows:

CoordSys Earth Projection 3, 115, "m", 24, 57.51755393056, 58, 59.33333333, 500000, 6375000 Bounds (-503054.5255, 5371945.474) (1503054.526, 7378054.526)

2. I export this mid/mif file to another mid/mif file in QGIS (Export--> Save Features As). Exported file is named as "E_101_kivi_sel_QGISmif". When exporting I'm using parameters like in figure below:

3. I open previously exported file "E_101_kivi_sel_QGISmif" to QGIS. Possible bug: Layer Properties--> Information does not show layers CRS, it is "unnamed" instead of "EPSG:3301 - Estonian Coordinate System of 1997" (figure below).

4. Now I export (Export--> Save Features As) the first mid/mif file ("E_101_kivi_p_sel") to .tab file in QGIS with EPSG3301 (figure below). The exported file is named as "E_101_kivi_QGIS_tab".

5. I open previously exported file "E_101_kivi_QGIS_tab" to QGIS. Possible bug: CRS is "unnamed" and measured gap between previous layers is 10 mm. Maybe this behavior is explained with issues described here.. Although I tried also custom bounds when exporting in QGIS without results.

6. I guess this is not an QGIS issue (?), but when opening mid/mif file "E_101_kivi_sel_QGISmif" (which was created in QGIS, point 4) in MapInfo (MapInfo saves it as .tab before opening, that .tab name is "E_101_kivi_sel_QGISmif.tab") there is 50 mm gap between first mid/mif's ("E_101_kivi_p_sel") tab and "E_101_kivi_sel_QGISmif" (figure below).

When opening "E_101_kivi_sel_QGISmif" mif file in Notepad the projection is as follows:

CoordSys Earth Projection 3, 104, "m", 24, 57.5175539305556, 59.3333333333333, 58, 500000, 6375000
