Stellarium - Set Location not working

[dazzystar]

Hi All,

Despite numerous attempts in getting Stellarium to store my correct Lat / Long coordinates it fails to and I don't know what to do now. I put in the correct numbers, give it a name and that all works. I then go to configuration and click on the save settings button but whenever I call up the name I gave the coordinates are wrong. Can anyone help?

Cheers
Daz

How wrong are the coordinates ?

Please check Stellarium 0.21.3-bcc1d86 [0.21.3.1068] or newer - we are fixed couple issues for angle input boxes in the Location dialog.

thanks @alexwolf but I'm already on the latest version and have this issue. Here's a screenshot showing the location window with incorrect Lat / Long values. They are not too far off but not exact.

Hi @dazzystar, I've just hit this problem as well. I solved it by editing the user_locations.txt file. You should find the location you entered in there, but with the wrong Lat and Long. Simply correct the Lat adn Long and save it, then fire up Stellarium and you should be able to select the location with the correct co-ords.

Thanks, @alexwolf - has the lack of lower menu bar when in fullscreen mode also been solved?

It's an intermittent one (and, of course, it's not happening today, so I can't screenshot it for you) - sometimes, in full screen mode, when I hover my cursor over the  bottom left of the screen where location, date, time, etc are shown, the menu below it does not appear; reappears when I hit F11 to go into windowed mode. I recall reading (Github?) of others having a similar issue.
