"Select Single Constellation" sometimes shows > 1

[Phil Shepherd]

- Stellarium 0.18.1 (happens in lower versions)
- Configuration Window -> Tools -> Select single constellation

Example:
Set date/time to 2018-07-11 23:00:00 (UTC+1)
search : Ursa Major
C - constellation lines on : shows Ursa Major

Search Virgo
C - constellation lines on : shows Virgo AND Ursa Major

Search : Bootes
C - constellation lines on : shows Bootes AND Virgo AND Ursa Major

etc.

Note: It also happens when stars in a constellation are selected... that constellation is then added to the list of rendered items

(I have attached my config file)

This is correct behaviour of the tool. What exactly you are expect to see here?

[gzotti (georg-zotti)]

This is intentional behaviour and allows incremental storytelling.
If you want to display single constellations only, simply deselect the current constellation.

Alexander - I was expecting to see one constellation at a time displayed, with the previous disappearing

Georg:
I am scripting all my tours.
Before selecting object, with various options (lines, art, etc), I issue :

 core.selectObjectByName("", false);

If running manually, I de-select the Constellation by righ-click.... is there another way?

I even tried
ConstellationMgr.deselectConstellations;

[gzotti (georg-zotti)]

Oh, now I see. This used to behave differently, sorry.

[Phil Shepherd (psjshep)]

Phew! No probs.... I thought I was going mad

[Alexander Wolf (alexwolf)]

Please check script from attachment

[Phil Shepherd (psjshep)]

Genius...

I was using

   ConstellationMgr.deselectConstellations;

whereas it should have been

    ConstellationMgr.deselectConstellations();

The scripting is now working - thank you, Alexander

I've made behaviour of deselectConstellations() method more aggressive

[Alexander Wolf (alexwolf)]

Hint: you may call deselectConstellations() via "W" shortkey

[Phil Shepherd (psjshep)]

Thank you, Alexander... I appreciate your help
