Welcome to the StarChart bug tracking page. This is where users can report bugs found in the StarChart activity or suggest new features. See the change log for the list of which bugs were fixed or features were added and when.

Report a Bug

This section is for reporting a bug. Please identify which version of the activity and which build of Sugar you were using. Do your best to describe what the bug was and how you found it, so I can try to reproduce the problem. When you add your entry, please do so using the same form as the other bug entries and please adjust the "next bug number". Also, please look at the list of known bugs, below, before adding your report.

  • bug # 12: this is the next bug number.

Confirmed bugs that have not yet been fixed

  • bug #1 (version 1, build 650) The color scheme of alternate-action buttons is white-on-white by default but becomes red-on-white if "night vision" is set.
  • bug #5 (version 1, build 650) There is no support for i18n. All text is in en_US and numbers and time use en_US separators (though the order of timestamp strings is YYYY MM DD hh mm ss).
  • bug #8 (version 1, build 650) Rotating the screen causes some controls to "fall off the edge" because they won't fit in that narrower dimension.
  • bug #9 (version 1, build 650) The accuracy of the plot suffers if the timestamp is outside of the range 1950 to 2050. (The moon's position is the least accurate; the fixed stars and deep sky objects have the most accurate position.)

Features requested but not yet implemented

This is where you get to suggest improvements. Try to suggest what you want without saying how it should be done.

  • feature #1 Provide a way to label the objects being plotted. This would answer the question "What is that star?".
  • feature #2 Provide a way to "locate" an object, given its name. This would answer the question "Can I see Antares now?".
