[Kstars-devel] Re: angular distance tool

[Jason Harris]

Hi Pablo,

I'm having some trouble with the angular distance tool.  If I use just 
the keystrokes to measure an angle between two objects, I sometimes get 
the wrong answer.  

I believe the problem is that when I hit "]" on the second object, it 
uses the *first* object as both the first and second points, and gives 
an angle very close to zero.  This is happening when I am fast enough 
that the TransientLabel is still fading on the first object.  If I wait 
until the TransientLabel appears on the second object, then I get the 
correct angle.  My guess is we just need to add a call to "SkyMap::
objectNearest()" to the slot attached to "]".

Also, I am still seeing the problem where I see the previous Angle Ruler 
line drawn when I press "[".  As soon as I move the mouse, it 
disappears, and begins drawing the correct line.

regards,
Jason
