Celestia Forums

Hello,

I start Celestia 1.6.2 on my M1 MacPro with BigSure.
When I manipulate time (faster, slower, forward, back) travel through space begins. When I press S to stop it, it stops (speed is going to 0), but in this same time is accelerating again.

I have to quit and start again to stop this process.

Please help me solve this problem.
Regards
Lukasz

can you describe the steps in detail to reproduce it?

Sure.

Start and set up Solar system like this:

view on the Sun, from behind the Earth
https://prnt.sc/118fqxp

Speedup time x10 x100 x1000 x10000
and travel forward starts:

https://prnt.sc/118frux


Next I can Go to Select Object Cmd+L -> Sun and click GO. Sun is on my screen and in few second travel begins again
https://prnt.sc/118ftmr

and movie:

I wonder why the speed is always increasing, can you try if the build on App Store works? https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id1483317223

unfortunately this same behaviour :-(

what key strokes did you use exactly? so far as I see the speed keeps increasing.

When I set Sun, Earth, Moon using control keys and mouse nothing wrong its happened.
Then I'm pressing "L" (following documentation to increase or decrease speed) and after few seconds travel starts.
I probably discovered what could be wrong. I have one keystroke in system hidden by lll (small L letter).
When I press:
"LLL" and more - everything is fine,
"llkllkllkllk" - OK,
"lll" - after ~ 6 sec. speed increasing starts
"ll" wait ~20sec "l" - after ~ 6 sec. speed increasing starts

I have this keystroke sience 10.7 "Lion" and I can't remember what Celestia version was in that time, but I didn't noticed such a kind behaviour.

"lll" - lukasz.stachowiak@gmail.com, when I changed it for example on "ll." Celestia goes fine.

Hope it helps

well, the speed increases with the A key, by looking at your video, it seems somehow that triggers A key to be always pressed.

… and even after stops the travel begins again and speed increases again.
I don't know why it's happened. When I changed key-combo described above, program returns to normal.
BTW. This combo I have sience Lion 10.7 with Celestia and now this issue starts.
