I realize this is an INDI forum, and I'm posting about KStars. Please refer me someplace else if appropriate.
The HIPS all-sky imagery overlay is a wonderful feature for framing targets. I've been experimenting with allocation of disk and memory for this feature, and find a repeatable bug.
Under View->HIPS All Sky Overlay -> HIPS Settings -> Cache, when I select other values than the default (Disk=1000, Memory=300) the HIPS display is corrupted. I can still see the image overlay but it's "smeared out" into horizontal banding that looks a lot like old-fashioned electronic static.
When I reset using the "Restore Defaults" button and restart KStars, everything goes back to normal.
This is on an Intel i3 box with 8 GB RAM running ubuntu 18.04.
Screenshots attached below to illustrate the problem.
Thanks!
Scott
