Newly created location cannot be set as default

[Khalid AlAjaji]

0.11.1
To recreate:
- Create a new location by editing the lat/long and altitude values
- Give it a name
- add to list
(it shows on the list)
- check the "use as default" box and the name/city field will change to "New location" along with the name in the status bar.

My workaround
after adding to the list
exit and restart stellarium
- from location window search and select the newly created location
- set as default

This is very similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/stellarium/+bug/881613

I'll check it out tomorrow, that is, later this morning. :)

Confirmed. An interesting point - on my computer, in Ubuntu, adding a new location may cause Stellarium to hand for several seconds...

I think I got this one: LocationDialog::addCurrentLocationToList() calls listItemActivated(), which disables the "add location" button. The focus is moved to the next control in the tab order, which is the latitude spin box. If the user clicks on the "set as default" check box, the spin box loses focus, causing it to think that the value has been changed, as discussed in bug #881613. This in turn causes the name to be changed to "New Location".

I've fixed the bug by setting the focus to the location search box when the "add location" button is clicked:
