Impossible to zoom-in to any planet orbit now (no collision)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load attached savegame in Alpha Giclas orbit Planet
2. When you try to leave planet orbit, you get sucked in right back into orbit
3. Rince and repeat: stuck again

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

Revision 807. It seems that the game considers you as entering the planet zoom 
earlier in this revision. I could see the nose of the ship hadn't yet touched 
the planet and already I was sucked into the orbital zoom.

When I tried leaving, the nose touched the edge of the screen and I am zoomed 
out onto the planet again (see capture 1) but the as I tried to leave, the back 
of my ship seems to still "touch" the invisible extended limit the goes beyond 
the planet's drawing and I am sucked back into orbital zoom.

Putting this on critical as it stops the player from playing the game.
Please note that this have been tested using the revision 765 exec.

Confirmed. Same thing with version 808.

Solved by r810. The game stupidly uses melee background star -002 .png for 
planet collision checking (!?!?!?!)

The planet collision check frame should be 1x1 pixel so it is nicely in the 
planet's center. Currently, I just put back the old melee bg 1x1 star. Will 
improve later so that the beautiful new star graphics can be used in melee 
background without sacrificing the planet collision-check accuracy.

through.

Changed title from "Stuck in planet orbit - planet size wrongly interpreted" to 
"Impossible to zoom-in to any planet orbit now (no collision)" to reflect the 
new problem that surfaced.

r818 and r819 should fix the collision problems. Do re-open this case if they 
didn't help.
