Poison,
can you change the language from German to default and run KStars?

Um. . .thats different?! is it just the skymap? Or is there any other part of the program that is affected? I have been using KStars now on multiple Macs since I first got it to compile about a year ago. And I have built it multiple ways and edited the code many times and it has never done that! Not even when I was editing the graphics of the skymap to try to track down that pesky little bug that was sometimes putting a thin black horizontal line across the middle of the screen. You might see if you can get the problem to repeat itself and find the conditions under which it does so. Also, it might help to run KStars from the terminal to see if any errors print out when you do it. And it might be good to take a lot at a log file to see if anything gets logged

Hello Oleg,

I changed the language to default and all works well. So I'll guess the German language file is buggy?

Poison,

Go into the KStars Preferences, the advanced tab, and make sure "Verbose" is selected. Then you can either set it to log the output to a file, or you can just leave it set to "Default" and run it from the terminal by typing this into Terminal and hitting enter: /Applications/kstars.app/Contents/MacOS/kstars. Either way you will get the error messages if they occur.

Hi rlancastle,

I've attached the logs.
And I switched my macOS language to English, same behaviour.

All the best,
Oliver

Try turning off HIPS and see if that makes the problem stop. The HIPS setting is in the toolbar. Just set it to "none." The log is full of entries that say that the HIPS source is not available.

Yes It does stop the problem, at least on mine, KStars 2.8.3 just tested on MBP Mid 2009 with Sierra 10.12.5

Ok, so nmac, you observed the same issue? Was that with a language other than the default set? And it is also with the HIPS turned on?

Yes I have seen it too with all color sets, it seems random, specially switching between color set and zooming in and out.
When I start Kstars the screen is also trashed for a few seconds and the it turns normal.Maybe a graphics glitch?
