Search for certain stars finds ISS

[Paul Kitt]

I am running Stellarium 0.11.4 (64-bit version) on a Win7x64 machine. Version 0.7.2 of the Satellites plugin is loaded. Only the ISS is selected for display. My location is Elkhart, Indiana, USA (found in the supplied locations database) and the time zone is Eastern Daylight Time. Follow these steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Turn Satellites hints ON.
2. Set the time for around 2100 , 2200, or 2300 hours (these are the times that I tested).
3. Set the date for October 12, 2012 (this is the date that I tested).
4. Open the search window and type in either Rasalhague or Ralasgethi (these are the stars that I tested). Initiate the search.
5. The ISS is selected and centered.
6. Turn Satellites hint OFF.
7. Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4.
8. The desired star is selected and centered.
9. Turn Satellite hints ON again.
10. Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4.
11. The ISS is selected and centered again.

If you turn satellites on then any name starting with a letter after N will default to the first displayable satellite.

This bug has been fixed. See Question #208066 and Bug #1048220 .
