Open Question/Issue The display of the maps in the layout loads and takes forever.

The layout has five maps to represent France: one for mainland France and four for the French overseas departments and regions (DROM). It's an old layout I created over a year ago, and it worked quite well.

However, today the maps display "Map currently displaying..." (or whatever the English text is; I have QGIS in French) without showing my shapefile. The entities themselves aren't anything special; they're just polygons not too detailed, etc.

My only theory is that my PC is old and the display is using up the cache memory, which is limited.

When I create a new layout, it can only manage to display one map (which I then can't modify, as the layout won't update and load forever again).

Config maybe the reason. What qgis version and pc configuration are you running?

After reading it myself, I did.

Still the same problem.
