[Kstars-devel] Center & Track McNaught 2006 P1 caused hyperwarp jump

[Jason Harris]

We've seen this problem before; basically, the focus position becomes 
undefined.  But I haven't heard about it happening in a long time.

Is it happening consistently for you, or did it just happen one time?
If you can repeat the problem, then I may be able to track it down.  If not, 
there's not much I can do.  I am not having any problem tracking McNaught 
here.

Let me know if it keeps happening, and in fact, if it happens again, quit 
KStars immediately and send me your kstarsrc file, and your 
$KDEHOME/share/apps/kstars/comets.dat.

thanks,
Jason
