Giovanni Manghi updated the report:
...the tool is not wrong, in fact if you see in detail (see attached 
screenshot) the two polygons that seems wrong after the union are not identical 
in the input layers, there is a very small difference, something like 0.4 mm... 
but this makes them two non identical, overlapping polygons...

It would be  n i c e  if the use can provide a tolerance to the tool.  In this 
way, this would avoid some of the spurious data that appear when doing overlays.

IMHO this would be dangerous because normally you would not know beforehand the result of your overlay operation. A better approach is to do your overlay and then examine the result. The overlay operation must of course work correctly, which fTools - unfortunately - currently does not (I used intersect yesterday and the resulting polygons had wrong attributes). If you want to get rid of sliver polygons after the overlay, use the eliminate tool in fTools. It is then up to you what qualifies as sliver, not up to an algorithm.

result be

Ivan

could you provide some small dataset where you are seeing that?
Information about SEXTANTE version is also welcome (I assume you are using the 
latest QGIS master, but just in case...There is no need to reinstall SEXTANTE, 
just reinstall the latest QGIS dev, which includes
SEXTANTE)

Thanks!

Hello:



I downloaded (now) and reinstalled Sextante.



Unfortunately the results were the same, holding duplicate polygons
when using Union tool.



It is easy to see the dups applying transparency.
