[udig-devel] CreateLine tools with shapefiles will not refresh until a commit is called

[Jody Garnett]

Select tool, and DefaultFeature editor also are unable to locate the 
"new" features.
When working we "new" features you are sometimes able to "clobber" 
existing work (when drawing more than one line). This is more than just 
a refresh problem - the features are missing from the table view (even 
after switching between layers to force the table view to refresh and 
notice the new features).

Action: none - we will document performing a commit in walkthrough 2 for 
now.

> 8. Your new road shows up and acts as normal
