It isn't a oneway ticket to Vienna , but a return ticket to Doha
I assume that BA did rebook
nufnuf77 as they have cancelled their direct LHR-VIE service so it shouldn't be an open-jaw return ticket.

Those who prefer not to pay for another last-minute ticket when your flight eventually gets cancelled.
nufnuf77 might have preferred not to get a refund and purchase a separate LHR-VIE ticket on another airline which could be much more costly.

But as i say cca 24 hours later, when I was chasing QR ticketing desk I got an email saying they now confirmed and I quote : Dear Mr Nufnuf,
We have now received a response and they have advised that travel will be possible.
You may go ahead and rebook through British Airways.
I guess that
Dave Noble was mentioning the OP's situation ( LHR-DOH-LHR turnaround ).
