When a layer symbol is defined with map units or "meters at scale" unit, it is sometimes shown in the legend at a very small scale, preventing to see the details. Or if we zoom in the map, the legend will be shown in a very large scale, see image below (reference https://issues.qgis.org/issues/8884 )

Is there a way I can keep the layer symbol scalable in the map, but have fixed size for the layer symbol legend?

    I think that bug was solved in the stable versions of QGIS. Upgrade to the latest stable versions: Current Release: 3.4.3, Long Term Release: 2.18.27. – Gabriel De Luca Jan 14 '19 at 15:53
  • @GabrielDeLuca I just downloaded 3.4.4 and unfortunately I still see the same behavior.. – Ending Jan 22 '19 at 15:49

    Symbology in the layer panel in QGIS 3.4.4 is size fixed, I can't reproduce your issue here. Please add a new question for that version, please add the more detailed process to reproduce the issue. Include if you are installing from stand-alone or network installer. And a screenshot of the layer symbology properties. – Gabriel De Luca Jan 22 '19 at 16:13

In 3.14, the max symbol size in the legend for "map units" / "meters at scale" seems to be fixed. The legend updates, however, are delayed which means that the legend does not update immediately when the map is redrawn after zooming:

  • I observe that the symbology in the layer panel updates when toggling 'show feature count', still in 3.16 – Jochen Schwarze Oct 28 '20 at 13:19
