Occasional glitch around heliocentric distance

[gzotti]

Expected Behaviour

Display of planet data (InfoString) continuous

Actual Behaviour

Observing as the numbers evolve, every now and then (every 2-4 minutes?) there is a 1-frame anomaly. One line is missing.
I made a recording and single-framed me into this. (Sorry, German labels.)

The missing line is "Scheinbarer Durchmesser" (apparent diameter), missing because distance from the sun is ridiculously large.

Steps to reproduce

Probably focus on any planet and observe. I could however not reproduce this at next launch. If relevant, this was with 2 extra threads.

System

• Stellarium version: master as of 2025-03-16

Hello @gzotti!

OK, developers can reproduce the issue. Thanks for the report!

DE or VSOP? How much threads are using?

[gzotti]

DE440

If relevant, this was with 2 extra threads.

I can’t reproduce it, but sometimes I can get a freezes (DE440 and 2 extra threads) in linux

I also had a few freezes lately when the program was hidden and reawakened. Will run single-threaded overnight in the background now. Would not be what I like...

EDIT: Survived the night, now running in the background with 3 extra threads.
