Thank you so much for adding the Flamsteed numbers in the next dev. I'm using 0.12.2dev7 now

BTW Stellarium is simply awesome. Without doubt one of the most excellent open source programs on Earth !! Thank you so much for developing Stellarium.

Title:
  Flamsteed designation for stars and search tool

Status in Stellarium:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Currently the info at upper left when you click on a star doesn't
  always give the Flamsteed designation. For example, Glenah (ε Cyg) HIP
  102488. It should also show "53 Cyg". This is important because when
  looking at references like The Night Sky Observer's Guide or Sky
  Atlass 2000 the Flamsteed number is on all charts. In Stellarium you
  can search, say 64 Cyg, and it will center but not highlight the star
  and so provide no info. When you then click on 64 Cyg it doesn't list
  "64 Cyg" in description but instead shows ζ Cyg and HIP 104732. It
  would be really helpful if it also showed the Flamsteed number. Thank
  you
