Search doesn't draw square to object on screen

[ilkant]

Expected Behaviour

Search F3 goes to found object and draws a square around the object. So, it is easy to find on screen.

Actual Behaviour

If the search object is for example Centauri A or Hanburger galaxy in deep space, Stellarium doesn't draw a square around the object. So, it can be hard to find it on screen. And if you use center the focus to object and you zoom in, square appears. And if you zoom out the square disappears.

Steps to reproduce

1 Find (F3) NGC 5128
2 Stellarium doen't show square where it is

System

• Stellarium version: <Stellarium 23.1.144-a6d653b [master]>
• Operating system: <Kubuntu 23.04>
• Graphics Card: <MSI GeForce GT 1030/PCIe/SSE2 2GH LF OC, OpenGL 3.3, driver 3.3.0 NVIDIA 515.105.01>
• Screen type LG 34GK950F 3440x1440

When you search something, it will be centered on screen and marked with an animated rectangle with round corners or rotating circle with spikes (for stars). I think this is enough eye support. Or does this not appear on your screen?

[ilkant]

It doesn't appear on screen when searching NGC 5128. Earlier Stellarium versions have worked ok, but this version 23.1.144 doesn't. And maybe this happens only deep sky objects. I can use center to object and then zoom in and again center to object. But it's not so easy to do that when you don't see the retangle.

But it's not so easy to do that when you don't see the retangle.

Why is it not easy? You can press Space or corresponding button in the bottom toolbar without even having the object in the frame.

[ilkant]

OK. That helps. But some previous Stellarium versions drew retangle to found object.

I just rebuilt to make sure I have the same state of master. It just works as usual. I don't find how to switch off the auto-centering.

I cannot reproduce the issue in master

Any update on this?

Hello @ilkant, we need more info and feedback!

The hardware info, steps of reproduction and log file are really important and help us resolve over 90% issues fast. Of course, in some specific cases we need more data, but we ask the required data separately...
