Comment 2 for bug 597633

G'day Peter,

Sorry to take a while to reply, have been busy...

Attached is the Stellarium log file from my last run with scattered text
issue...

- Seems only OpenGL, & not 2, being used...

However, I just ran it again using the "Stellarium (no OpenGL2)" option from
Win Start menu and

all the text seems to be fine now - no more scattering, etc...?

So it then seems, problem of text scattering is only with OpenGL2..?

Happy to help further if you require...

Rob.

on screen.
Importance: High

Hi Robert,

This is likely a duplicate of several other bug reports, but thanks for
such a detailed list of hardware. These font corruption bugs are
affecting a wide range of systems so the more info provided the better.

Could you please check what version of OpenGL is being used? You can do
this by checking the Stellarium log? (see 'last run log' under the
Stellarium entry in the Windows Start menu, about 20 lines from the top
- it will be either "OpenGL" or "OpenGL2") Alternatively, you could
just attach a copy of the log file.

A possible solution is close to release for testing, so it would be
great if you're able to help out.

In the mean time, if the OpenGL version is 2 you could try forcing use
of OpenGL1 - run the "Stellarium (no OpenGL2)" version from the Windows
Start menu. Let us know if this helps.

Peter

Status in Stellarium: New

Bug description:
Recently updated my installed version of Stellarium from 0.10.4 to latest
010.5. Upon running 0.10.5 I find nearly all the on-screen text to be
scrambled (especially descriptions, in top let-hand corner, of any selected
items). This did not occur for me with previous ver 0.10.4. Display is just
a mess of scrambled text - unreadable. My settings within Stellarium 0.10.5
are exactly the same as for previous.
Please help if you can....

My Computer System Details:-
Dell Precision 530 Workstation
Intel XEON 2.40GHz CPU
1GB RAM
Win XP-Prof SP-3 O.S.
nVidia Quadro4 900 XGL graphics adapter with 128MB memory:-
 - Driver version 9.1.3.6 , dated 12/07/2006. (this is the latest current
driver ver, I believe.)
 - Screen resolution = 1280 x 1024 @ 85Hz, 32 bit colour quality.

If you need any further info re this reported bug, please let me know...

Thank you & Best Regards,
Robert Brandini.
