Satellite orbit lines are not updated correctly when the landscape is changed.

[Jordan]

If the landscape is changed with the option "Use associated planet and position" the orbit lines are not displayed correctly for the new position. Stars and planets works well. Only the orbit lines does not.

For example, if i change from one landscape to another(both on earth) the orbit lines does not change correctly. But if i change from a landscape on earth to another planet and then back to a landscape on earth the orbit lines works correctly.

Changing the position in the location window(F6) works without problems.

Can't confirm issue. Please attach a screenshot with problematic orbits.

OK. here is an example.

Top left is a screenshot when i start Stellarium. You see the orbit of the ISS. Everything is OK.

Top right screenshot is after i changed the Landscape with with the option "Use associated planet and position". You can see that the ISS no longer displayed correctly.

If I change the landscape to another planet and then back to the previously inaccurate displayed landscape it looks like the bottom right screenshot. Wich is now displayed correctly.

Bottom left is a screenshot when i change the location in the "Location window (F6)" Which shows also the correct position of th ISS. But here is just need to klick the location without changing to another planet.

Ah! Artificial satellites!

I guess the `locationChanged` signal is not emitted at the end of the movement when we smoothly change locations.

[Alexander Wolf (alexwolf)]

Signal 'locationChanged' emitted in both cases (I've checked it) but I don't understand why in second case orbit has 'old location' still.

I just pushed a commit that should fix that:

Yes, this patch fixes issue. Thank you very much!

I have some cylindrical high res landscapes 8192 x 4096 pixel and others with 4096 x 2048 pixel.
For me the transition beetween landscapes does not work if the new selected landscape has a higher resolution than 4096 x 2048 pixel.

The transition between the 4096 x 2048 resolution landscapes works smoothly and looks fantastic, but if I switch to the higher resolution, there is no transition.

Is there a limit in Stellarium for highres landscapes?
