Description Pit 2018-10-10 15:20:12 UTC

SUMMARY
If I get an error dialog box from EKOS/INDI (in my case because an indi subprocess was killed), after clicking 'OK' the main KStars window will stay in dimmed mode, even after EKOS/INDI is closed/terminated.

I have set EKOS/INDI mode to 'separate window'

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start kstars
2. open EKOS, start an INDI session
3. Provoke an error, like killing one of the indi_xxx processes

OBSERVED RESULT
kstars main window stays dimmed (low intensity low color) 

EXPECTED RESULT
normal intensity and color for kstars when having focus

Looks like you might still other windows open.. check that all error messages are closed because it could be more than one.

Oh.
I just checked again (with a different setup) and there it indeed works correctly.
So I went back to where I had it before: It's an eqmod thread running wild (see https://indilib.org/forum/mounts/3970-indi-eqmod-telescope-hangs-with-100-cpu.html).  So the dimming *only* stays if I kill this one thread while it's hanging (likely some hanging communication?).  Should have checked with some other threads before :(
Guess this one can be closed then, sorry
