Comment 2 for bug 491255

Thanks.

After starting Stellarium, when the random pattern is not displayed, what I see briefly is the usual land and skyscape, then the screen goes black and a splash window opens and loads the constallation data, then the land and skyscape returns and I am able to use Stellarium. I expected the program to start with the splash screen, before displaying the land and skyscpape.

Stellarium crashes whenever I select the left-hand [F2] or [F4] options.
Should I create a separate bug report to describe this problem?
