[1.7.0] Autocompletion in search

Open SevenSpheres opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

In Celestia 1.7.0, when you type a partial string into the search box and press Enter, the first object matching that string is selected. For example if I type jup and then press Enter, Jupiter is selected. I assume this was intended to be a new feature, but it causes a bug: if I type, say, eps ind b, Eps Ind Ba (the first object in the list) is selected, instead of the Eps Ind B barycenter. I think this "feature" should just be removed, and the search should work as it does in 1.6.x.

"Wishlist"? I'm basically asking for a new "feature" to be reverted. There are some other things I'll tag as wishlist though...

for me this is not a bug

@375gnu maybe @LukeCEL explained it more clearly in #629?

This was introduced in 1495531a0, we can hide it behind #ifdef AUTO_COMPLETION
