Telescope control queues up messages when program is minimized #691

Open ghost opened 5 years ago

ghost commented 5 years ago

Expected Behaviour

Stellarium will show my scope position with very little lag.

Actual Behaviour

When using the Telescope Control [external software or a remote computer] the messages sent from my app appear to be getting queued up if Stellarium is minimized. If I move my mount a few times and then un-minimize Stellarium, I notice that my telescope icon quickly tries to retrace my mount's movements and eventually catches up. I didn't see this behaviour with previous versions of Stellarium. I can have Stellarium minimized for hours so I suspect this queue can become very large.

Steps to reproduce

System

Logfile

If possible, attach the logfile log.txt from your user data directory. Look into the Guide for its location.

Could you say which last version has old behaviour for you?

User has become a 'ghost'. Not sure worth keeping open if no one else can confirm this phenomena.

Somebody with a RC telescope would have to try if minimizing the program, then slewing with the telescope hand controls, then showing the program again shows this phenomenon. The next question is "does it matter"? Is it even a bug or just the way this feature works? Is there a chance the the "large message queue" ever causes a problem? I would opt for closing this until s.o. reports a real issue.
