Stellarium is not tagging nebula's in observatory view if they do not contain a texture (picture). That is there is no text (classification) or circle to indicate a nebula. Nebula that have a picture (such as M8 Lagoon Nebula) appear fine.
Examples:
NGC6334 - Cat's Paw Nebula
NGC3372 - Eta Carina
NGC6559
There are more, the above are examples.
Do a search for the above objects and Stellarium will find them, but when it moves to the object you will see there is no circle and no text in that area.
Changing flag_nebula_display_no_texture to true and restarting Stellarium does not bring up any overlays for these nebula.
Changing all flag_nebula_* to true also does not bring up any overlays.
Attached a picture of the aforementioned problem in action.
Some details:
Windows 7 Pro, latest updates on all machines.
Tested on a PC and notebook.
Running version 0.10.3 on all machines.
Confirmed this was replicable on all of my machines and had other users check as well.
Pasting log below. I noted the error complaining about lack of space, however i am not sure what exactly there is to complain about. The machine has 36Gb of free space on the primary disk and 250gb on the secondary.

The problem was first noted in version 0.10.0beta
The previous release 0.9.1 did not have the problem and there was also a configuration menu item to turn the feature on and off in that version.
This feature control was dropped from menu control with the release of version 0.10.0. Probably coinciding with the change from SDL to Qt
