I noticed a quite annoying bug in the current CVS version concerning the [S]/[F1] keys which should set the speed to zero :

If you...
1- Hit the [A] or [F2]->[F7] keys to increase the speed
2- Then hit the [S] or [F1] keys to set the speed to zero
==> The speed is correctly set to "0.00000 m/s"

But if you...
1- Hit the [A] or [F2]->[F7] keys to increase the speed
2- Hit the arrow/numpad keys to rotate the view
3- Then hit the [S] or [F1] keys to set the speed to zero
==> The speed never reaches zero and decreases until it reaches the very inelegant "0.00000000......00000%.36f m/s" value...

You get the same bug if you do 2- before 1-, and then 3-.

Worse, F1 is a KDE function key in Linux.

Hi.

I noticed that this bug, which also appeared in 1.4.1 final, is still present. I could reproduce it in a CVS build of Nov 4.
Will there be a fix in 1.5?

Bye
Andy.

Nothing to say about that?

As of this morning, the bug is fixed in the CVS version of Celestia.

Thanks Chris.

Thank you, Chris.
