I have a problem with labels in QGIS. I'm using a background svg for some labels (street numbers). In QGIS, it's all ok but when I use the composer there is a bug (I suppose), because I see some strange artifacts.

svg

Squares and elipse on the right are the artifacts

If I disable the layer with the street numbers, or if I remove the svg background, the artifacts disappear. The problem is reproducible only with svg, if I use the rectancle or another option, I don't see any problems. The artifacts can be seen in the composer preview too.

Can someone confirm this problem?

Tested with QGIS 2.6.1 and 2.8.1 Nightly

    Can you edit your question and add the image link there, too?

  • Have you tried re-testing this for QGIS 2.8.2? I tested labels with a svg background and it seems fine (this was for a line vector layer on QGIS 2.8.2).

  • No, because I work with 2.6.1 but I'm quite sure the bug still persists because it's old and I haven't seen tickets about this.

Your SVG files have issues. Try opening them in Inkscape and selecting View -> Zoom -> Drawing. There's polygons present WAY outside the document area. These are showing up in the composer map, causing the artefacts.

  • THANK YOU! I haven't notice them becouse they are outside the page. I still don't understand why I saw them only in the composer map and not in the qgis view but the problem seems to be solved.
