Bug Description
Subtract one sidereal day Alt+- is ok. To advance in sidereal day time-steps is such a wonderful function:
Every real planetarium demonstrates how the sun and the planets move among the stars.
In our public observatory we miss it really.
If we want to demonstrate it, we have to go back to version 0.9.1
Anyway Stellarium is great.
Peter
Operating System: Windows XP
Used Versions: 0.10.2 and 0.10.3
[WORKAROUND: Add the standard (QWERTY) English/US keyboard layout to your operating system and use that layout in Stellarium.
This bug is caused by the way Qt handles its keyboard shortcuts. Using the workaround is necessary until some way of changing Stellarium's shortcuts is implemented. --Bogdan Marinov]

This seems to be a problem with some keyboard layouts (e.g. the German one).
If this is the case, could you please describe how you try to enter it? For example, on the German keyboard layout, '=' is not a main key symbol, so it has to be entered by pressing Shift+0.
Could you please try to use Alt with the key that has the same place as = in the QWERTY layout? This is the rightmost key on the top row, the one to left of the Backpace key. (On the German layout it's the acute accent, ´.)
Also, make sure that you are using the left Alt key, not the AltGr key, which is usually in the right and is used for entering additional characters.
Could you please attach the log.txt file or copy its contents in a comment? It can be found in "Documents and Settings/Your User Name/Apllication Data/Stellarium". In 0.10.3, it can be accessed through Stellarium's Start Menu folder. Please attach the log file produced by Stellarium when trying to use Alt+=.
