Hi Nyall,
Fair enough - for some use cases.
Still I don't like that there is no way of correctly exiting "Atlas
printing mode" in the main canvas. If print composer is closed, the
symbology is still influenced by Atlas. Not so nice. I think a user
would expect that if Atlas is not active anymore (say if the Atlas
preview is inactive) or at least when the print composer containing
Atlas is closed, that the symbology would be back to normal.
Should I open an issue about this behaviour?

Answering myself:
by adding in the @map_id variable into the rule I can avoid that the main
map canvas gets changed. My particular problem is thus solved.
But the question remains: why is the Atlas printing feature changing the
main map canvas at all? Anything done in the print composer should have no
influence on the rendering in the main canvas in my opinion. Other thoughts?
Can this be fixed with QGIS 3 ?
It was by design originally, allowing the symbology and labeling rules
to be tweaked in the canvas and see immediately the result this would
have.
Otherwise you'd need to keep changing settings -> flipping to composer
and refreshing -> then back to canvas to tweak again.

Thanks,

Hi,
I use a rule-based styling to distinguish the feature is currently active
in Atlas from other features that aren't active.
This is my very simple rule:
$id = @atlas_featureid
The problem is when I close the atlas data sheet (print composer) - then
the symbology rule still remains active in the main map.
Is there a way around this problem? Can I detect if the print composer
atlas sheet is open or closed?
Thanks for any ideas,
Andreas
