I'm running 18.04 LTS. Wonder if that could make a difference.

BTW, I had the display bug before the latest nightly.

What a pity! kstars-bleeding - 6:3.4.2+202003151308~ubuntu16.04.1 didn't build (see launchpad ).

Is Jasem aware of this?

Anyway I'll give 18.04 a try.

Thanks for reporting this. Qt 5.5 on Ubuntu 16.04. I'll see what I can do.

Filed phabricator.kde.org/D28117 to restore stability to Ubuntu 16.04 build. That diff is a no-brainer, of course.

Great!! I'm waiting eagerly for the nightly build.

kstars-bleeding - 6:3.4.2+202003180916~ubuntu16.04.1 didn't made it once again!

Stupid me missed one place to fix... Sorry for the delay!

Pushed phabricator.kde.org/D28177 to fix that second issue.

Thanks for your effort!

Meanwhile I tried to compile KStars from source with Qt 5.9.9 on Ubuntu 16.04 with success. The display bug is gone, BUT the responsivity bug persists! I suppose it is a KStars/indi bug: The option buttons for the serial/ethernet connection are all dead*. Shall I open a ticket in KStars bugtracking systems?
*) Surprisingly they are all working when I'm debugging an INDIdriver with QtCreator.

(all Green on launchpad now for Ubuntu 16.04)

Some news regarding this bug!

It is present in Ubuntu 16.04 AND 18.04 and I could trace a really strange behaviour in both: As I stated before the "Connection Mode" buttons of the INDIDrivers is always working under debugging. The spooky thing is, that after the very first start of EKOS (after a new startup of the OS) the buttons are working too! But if you start Ekos once again these buttons get unresponsive!

It there a crack out there, who has more insight? I haven't got a clue.

If you restart KStars, they are unresponsive as well? or it needs a complete restart of the OS?
