Hello all,
Peter Birtwhistle pointed out, and I've fixed, an annoying bug
that worked as follows :
Move the cursor over any observatory in the list of MPC codes at the
bottom of the screen, and you could scroll the mouse wheel up/down to
find the previous/next observation from that code. So far, so good.
But if you moved the cursor over, say, "Obs" in the residual
legend, or anything else that would show a tooltip/hint text, you'd
get stuck. Moving the mouse would get a help screen for the MPC code
area at the bottom of the screen. Quit that, move the mouse, and
you'd be back at the help screen.
It turned out I'd committed a small act of programming stupidity,
fortunately easily fixed. Download the software again, and you won't
see that bug.
