In principle the help is there for me.

To reproduce: - Start with clean workspace - Create a new, empty map (this step seems important for reproducing the issue!) - Click on the map. - In File menu, select import -> Data -> Files - Select three shp files in the same directory. I chose the usual testdata I one downloaded from SVN: bc_2m_border.shp, bc_2m_lakes.shp, bc_2m_rivers.shp -> Only one entry shows up in catalog.# Clicking on it and pressing "Del" shows up the other two.

I chose 32610 (WGS 84 UTM zone 10 N) which I always use for BC data. This fails although I am looking on a part of BC only ... where the CRS is well defined.

The legend map > graphic only reports on feature data as far as I know. I mean the legend map graphics. It shows raster images, but only sometimes. F.e. right now I have a sandwich map of "clouds", "bc_border" and "earthlights" (in this order) The legend lists clouds and bc_border only. > I tried this a couple ways; and got a range of results.
