[APBeta] Looking Good

[Jeff Young]

I've also found the recent versions pretty useable.  I do get the odd crash now and again, but I usually can't reproduce it.  (It's almost always after AP has been running for days, so I wonder if it's a memory leak or heap corruption or something?)

While they don't keep me from getting anything done, the two things I find most annoying are:


1)     Odd window fronting.  Sometimes when I have one plan open and open another, AP will front the back plan.  Other times, after AP has been running for some time in the back ground with several plans open, I'll bring one plan to the front and AP will then bring one of the other plans in front of it.

2)     Long delays sometimes when activating AP.  If I leave AP running in the background I sometimes get a long delay when I front one of the plans.  It'll usually draw the top section of the window in white and then go away for 30 or 60 seconds before drawing the rest of the window.  At least some of this was caused by autosaves, but I still get it sometimes even after turning that off.

All in all, looking very good.

Cheers,
-- Jeff.

At this stage I am finding APv2b66 pretty good. How are others finding it?

Still a fair bit of redrawing and screen flicker but we have seen this since we we began testing it.

I am seeing a default font mismatch at the bottom of the objects tab and in the Observation tab, image attached. What is the font that is being used by default? Perhaps I can change the font in the preferences to match the one Astroplanner is using.
