Hi there,

something strange happend to me yesterday.

I was using my Pi with KStars 3.0.0 two days ago and it worked like a charm. Yesterday however I had a strange bug.

So I did everything exactly as I did it two days ago. After platesolving and ready to start capturing, I wanted to change the name of the object I was about to capture (prefix) in the camera tab.

There was already "star" filled in, as I solved on a star. As soon as I clicked in the field, the EKOS window disappeared. It was just gone.

Even more stranger, tracking and guiding was still working! So I tried to start indi again, but it told me that another instance was already running.

I couldn't get back to the EKOS window, so i rebooted the Pi and tried it again, with exactly the same result.

Hope someone knows thats going on.

No, the whole ekos window just disappears like when it crashes, so i'm back to the desktop with nothing open but PHD2.

I attached the 3 log files for you, hope it helps.

Before the window disappears, it always says the following in the log files:

[2019-02-27T20:28:21.617 CET WARN ][default] - QWidget::paintEngine: Should no longer be called
[2019-02-27T20:28:21.618 CET WARN ][default] - QPainter::begin: Paint device returned engine == 0, type: 1

It seems this issue is related to PHD2 drawing so I need to check this out more.

I updated everything to the latest nightly yesterday, but the lack of clear sky makes it impossible to test it.

Will investigate this further and report back with new logs.

Can you check _without_ PHD2 if you have the same behavior?
