I recently encountered that issue as well and I observed the behavior only when the attribute table was opened. For me it works just fine when I close the attribute table (no matter if docked or undocked) before I do the join. Maybe try that for a start.
Still, I think that problem should be investigated in more detail. > From: Qgis-user [mailto:qgis-user-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of > Bernd Vogelgesang > Sent: Dienstag, 7.
