Mount starts to move even if it's parked.. was created by Markku

Hi all,

Last night I did a little mistake and pressed the "Guide" button in the guide tab instead of "Capture" and my mount began to move even if it was parked and there was a message that I should unpark before start guiding.
Now I did the same with simulators pressing the "Guide" button when mount was parked and didn't get a message about unparking the mount before guiding but it did began drifting without unparking the mount.
This happens with KStars 3.3.9.

Thanks for the report, I just added an extra check to check if the mount is parked before starting guide.

Isn't the problem really that the mount driver is broken? if it's parked it should not respond to any move command.

That's true as well. We'll protect against this on Ekos side, but there is still work on driver's side as well.
