ctrl + mouse drag stuck in time mode

[zsarosi]

When using Stellarium on Linux, if I hold the Ctrl key and drag the mouse with the left button pressed to manipulate time, the application works as expected. However, after releasing both the Ctrl key and the left mouse button, the mouse cursor remains in "time-drag" mode and the normal view dragging functionality gets stuck. The view cannot be dragged normally with the mouse until Ctrl + 1 is pressed to reset the navigation mode.

Expected Behaviour

After releasing the Ctrl key and left mouse button, the mouse should return to normal view-drag mode. The time-drag mode should be disabled, and I should be able to drag the view as usual.

Actual Behaviour

After releasing Ctrl and the left mouse button, the application remains stuck in "time-drag" mode. The mouse does not function as expected for normal view dragging until I press Ctrl + 1 to reset the view mode.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Stellarium.
   

2. Press and hold the Ctrl key and click the left mouse button.
   

3. Drag the mouse to change the time (time drag mode).
   

4. Release the Ctrl key and left mouse button.
   

5. Attempt to drag the view with the mouse as usual (view drag).
   

6. The view remains stuck in the "time-drag" mode, and the mouse can no longer drag the normal view.
   

System

• Stellarium version: 24.3 (Snap)
• Operating system: Ubuntu 22.04
• Graphics Card: I am using Lenovo T14s (it has integrated Intel chipset, no extra graphics card)
• Screen type (if applicable): Laptop screen

Interesting. On Windows, releasing the Ctrl key immediately switches to view-drag mode.

I can confirm described behaviour in specific case - see screencast.

This looks like the normal (intended) behaviour. While time-dragging you can push the sky into motion (high timelapse) by releasing mouse button while dragging. Then, with the sky spinning, you should be able to drag the scene. (Of course, I don't see when you press Ctrl... [sorry, no audio on this PC, in case you announced it.])

Push the “sky” and release Ctrl under the scene :)

@zsarosi please share file ~/.stellarium/config.ini

Here is the config.ini (i had to gzip it), there is nothing special in it, as I have just downloaded Stellarium snap before. I only updated the location to Zurich, everything else should be default.

Can't reproduce the issue in Windows (using attached config) - I'll check it in Ubuntu tonight
