Distances to Galaxies seem to be missing

[Peter Kordas]

Installed 0.13.1 - Nice.

Is it just me, or am I missing something?

I was looking at M31 and the surrounding galaxies M110, M32... and noticed that the distances to them wasn't showing up in the info on the top left hand corner...

Distances for the surrounding stars are displayed... so I tried a few more random galaxies - none of the distances were showing either. Well, none of the 1/2 doz I tried. It would be a remarkable fluke if I happened to have tried the only 1/2 doz that don't show, but the Universe doesn't revolve around me (thank goodness), so I discount that possibility.

Has that lack always been there and I haven't noticed it before?

Am I that dim of wit? :)

Or is this a (drum roll, please) real bug?

Thanks for that Alexander.

I had searched for, if I recall correctly, "Distances missing from
galaxies" to see if it had already been reported, and not finding
anything under that search term, proceeded accordingly.

Maybe next time I should be a little less specific and it would have
saved you the trouble of reporting this as a duplicate of a bug already
being attended to.

Exterminate!.... thought I'd throw in the odd Dalek reference for
humor's sake,

Thanks again for the hard work you are all doing there at Stellarium.

It's a mystery how you all function off a free program to produce such a
great product...
