[udig-devel] 1.1RC3 versus Mapserver WFS

Well, the info tool has a long history of not correctly working with  
mixed CRS (*cough*Garnett*cough*), but I haven't seen that behavior  
in a while. OTOH, this kind of behavior (same action, different  
results for different data stores and different CRSs) seems to leak  
around.

Perhaps someone here could validate this by (a) connecting to one of  
our Mapserver WFS instances (b) trying the info tool on the features  
(c) changing their view CRS to something else (d) trying the info  
tool again.

My money is on "bug".
