ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Ilpo Kantonen 2022-08-12 22:35:55 UTC 
I have used PPA which updates Indi. There come almoust every day updates. So I stopped it. Now KStars says at beginning

Unable to find INDI drivers directory: /usr/share/indi
Please make sure to set the correct path in KStars configuration

I don't know if this affects a crash when plotting calendar.
Comment 2 Ilpo Kantonen 2022-08-12 23:53:26 UTC 
I installed KStars 3.6.0 from ppa:mutlaqja/ppa and indi-full kstars-bleeding too.

When I tried to plot sky calendar, kstars crashed again.

BTW, snap installed version 3.5.7 or nothing and apt installed kstars started. This 3.6.0 is installed with apt and PPA.

Use QtConcurrent for the actual computations for each planet and not for the overall functions enabling or disabling GUI elements from a thread might lead to a crash.

Comment 4 Ilpo Kantonen 2022-08-19 00:17:58 UTC 
Bugfix has been released to 5:3.5.7-1 and 5:3.5.9-1. Thanks. How about version 3.6.0 in PPA repository? I updated KStar and I am thinking it has good new features and want to use 3.6.x. Thanks.
