When I click on Gamma Corvi at https://stellarium-web.org/, I get information about a star in another constellation, Epsilon Cygni.

@xalioth, that's Gienah Ghurab vs. Gienah Cygni. We also had that problem in the desktop version.

Thanks for a quick response @gzotti ! IAU unambiguous naming stars should take care of things like this https://www.iau.org/public/themes/naming_stars/

IAU Name	Designation	ID	Const.	#	WDS_J		Vmag	RA(J2000)	Dec(J2000)	Approval Date
Gienah		HR 4662		γ	Crv	A	12158-1733	2.58	183.951543	-17.541929	2016-11-06
Aljanah		HR 7949		ε	Cyg	Aa	20462+3358	2.48	311.552843	33.970257	2017-06-30
