Strange, it consistently crashes for me, even after restarting Kstars or rebooting completely. I'd say it only works correctly about 5% of the time. But that's interesting that it's not localized to just my platform, then. I can try building it from source with -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug to see if that provides any more useful logging.

Hello, I have been observing some strange crashing behavior in Kstars when I try to use any of the search functionality (Ctrl+F, "Find Object" button, etc). The entire application crashes immediately when I attempt to search - directly from Kstars, inside Ekos from the mount control panel, when setting up a job, etc. I have tried completely purging/reinstalling Kstars with no success. I am on the latest kstars-bleeding release (3.6.7), but I have been having this issue since 3.6.6.

$ apt-cache policy kstars-bleeding
