User error or bug? (Vector Symetric Difference)

[Adam Hirsch]

Hey, folks -- I'm a fairly new QGIS user trying to run the amusingly misspelled "Symetric Difference" vector tool against two vector layers.  Unfortunately, whenever I do, the CPU spikes to 100% and QGIS seizes up, producing no output.  Same problem with "Union," though other Vector tools seem to work okay.

I'm new to QGIS, so I wanted to check and see whether I was missing something obvious before filing a bug on it.  http://hub.qgis.org/issues/5626 sounds somewhat similar, but I'm running on local files without a PostGIS back, so it might not be the same.

Thanks!

Adam

what version of QGIS are you using?

in the last days there have been a few fixes in those vector tools, if
you can give a try to qgis development version it would be great.

cheers

Great - I'll go give the dev version a try.  Thanks!

Hmm.  Running with 1.9-alpha, I'm seeing the same behavior.  Select the two layers, provide an output filename, hit "OK," and the dialog box clears while CPU usage jumps to 100% ... and the output shapefile gets a little content and then stops.

I'm using the OS X 1.9 build from http://www.kyngchaos.com/software/qgis, built on 2012/3/11.  More recently than that?
