[Debian-astro-maintainers] Bug#829484: stellarium: position input fields allow invalid values

[Paul Gevers]

Package: stellarium
Version: 0.14.3-1
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream

Last year at Debconf, Ginggs and me found a nice little bug in
Stellarium. This year we came to the subject again and to our shame
found that we didn't even report this minor bug.

So, here it goes: In the location window (F6) you can ask for positions
that are not valid coordinates (the position doesn't move there). I
think it would be nice if the validity of the coordinates is checked.
(We found out by going to the North Pole and actually "go over it".)
