Description

With 1.7.4 on windows try the following:
1. Start a new project, enable OTF and set the project to wgs84
2. Check my crs database contains the definition for my custom crs
3. Add a shp using my custom crs (layer contains a valid prj file)
4. Goto layer properties and I see "EPSG:31282 - MGI (Ferro) / Austria Central Zone" has been applied. ???
5. Select the custom crs and the layer displays correctly i.e there is nothing wrong with the crs definition!

This only affects a custom crs. Layers with a standard crs work fine.

Do the same with a current master version and all is well.

Can the fix be back ported please...?

Hm. This seems to be similar to #5066 - seems that QGIS CRS detection algorithm is failing in 1.7. It would be better to fail completely to detect CRS (and ask user!) than use a wrong one...
