I have a problem where when editing features from a wfs vector layer. After some changes are made to the geometry, the feature redraws itself and the changes are lost.

Usually the problem occurs more often if a feature is huge and has many vertices. Also if the user pans and zooms in/out a lot.

My guess is that the browser (FireFox 18) "looses the cache" or something and therefore does a new request to the server and the feature is rendered and the changes are lost.

Is there a way to solve this or is the solution to "save often"?

Hi Mapperz and thanks for the reply I'm not quite sure that I understand what you mean in how the answer in the other question would help me. I have features that are polygons. And the problem occurs when Im modifying one of them. I could try to have a extra wfs layer only for the feature that the user currently is editing. But my guess is that won't help if that only feature is complex enough. Or am I missing your point? – Mike001 Feb 5 at 15:59

I assume this happens when your vector data is retrieved using an OpenLayers.Strategy.BBOX. A workaround would be to either use a different strategy (e.g. OpenLayers.Strategy.Fixed), or to configure the BBOX strategy with a higher ratio.

Hi ahocevar and thank you very much for the reply and answer! You are correct I'm using the BBOX strategy but by raising the ratio the problem dissapear. I guess the down side of this is that more features than needed are retreived, but thats not an issue in this case (for now at least). Br Mike – Mike001 Feb 7 at 12:37
