Expected Behaviour

Once an object is locked (spacebar -> becomes centered), changing the location should keep the object centered (locked).

Actual Behaviour

Lock is lost when .

Steps to reproduce

  1. Lock the object (spacebar) and check that it remains locked by playing with time (F5)
  2. Open the location dialog (F6) and close it

Bug: observe that lock is lost.

Locking should remain even when location is changed.

System

  • Stellarium version: 25.2

Logfile

If possible, attach the logfile log.txt from your user data directory. Look into the Guide for its location.

    Agreed. It would help understanding parallax for very close objects such as the Moon or satellites.
