Description Toralf Förster 2008-05-13 20:21:43 UTC
Version:           1.2.5 (using 3.5.8, Gentoo)
Compiler:          Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.24-gentoo-r8

My window is directed to east therefor I putted the "East" near to the bottom of the window within KStars. After stopping the application and starting it some hours later now "North East" was at bottom.

SVN commit 809477 by harris:

Reorganizing initFocus():

+ Fix bug #162059: when leaving the program in Horizontal coordinates 
and not tracking on the sky, the initial position on next startup should 
be the same Alt/Az coordinates.  Fixed.

+ When leaving the program tracking on a star named "star", the initial 
position on the next startup should be that same star,  Fixed.

They seem like simple fixes, but it actually took quite a bit to fix 
these.  Another symptom of the bubble-gum-and-duct-tape nature of the 
startup code...

Is it worth trying to backport this fix to the 3.x codebase?  Are we 
going to have 3.5.10?

seems that this wasn't included in 3.5.10, isn't it ?
