Point star not rendered in split view

[abramson]

Hi,

With star render set at points, stars are not rendered in split view, either horizontally or vertically, in any view beyond the first one. Stars appear if the rendering is changed to fuzzy points or scaled discs.

EDIT: As pointed out by commenters below, this only applies to SVN built with the not yet committed "new stars" renderer, made available by Chirs L. ouside of the SVN (as yet).

Celestia built from SVN 5101.
Star rendering from newtars.zip (2010-11-01).
Windows 7 x64, Notebook Dell XPS, nVidia 9400M G.

i will have to look at 5101 ( or the current for tonight )
the stars in splitwindow work in 5070 Linux 64 bit gtk and qt4

--- edit ---
I just built svn 5102 on linux 64 bit " GTK Gnome" and the bug is not there

John, maybe there must has been a misinterpretation. Guillermo is referring to the unleashed prototipe of new star rendering, IMHO. Take a look here: viewtopic.php?f=15&p=125254#p125254

Chris has sent me TWO patches for his new star rendering. The first one had a number of bugs.
Clearly, there is no (multiple view) problem of the latest SVN code WITHOUT any of the two patches. I am rebuilding SVN code regularly, whenever there was a change. At present I am running 5102 without any problems.

I have not rebuilt Celestia with his second patch, yet. That's what needs to be done.
The first patch he sent me already in August 6th last year. The second, bugfixed patch I got August 8th from him.

I have quickly rebuilt Celestia-KDE with Chris' second 'new stars' patch and a fresh SVN 5102 revision. I now can confirm that the new split region displayed after both a horizontal and a vertical split is void of stars. Since the patch only refers to (the OS-independent) render.cpp and render.h, this bug should be present in ALL operating systems.
