Comment 2 for bug 1690601

OK here is 0.15.1:
I open in fisheye, then choose mirror distortion. I get this which is fine:

Then I save as default view and quit. When I next open 0.15.1, the view goes to the lower corner: (this is reproducible but SOMETIMES doesn’t happen IF you are connected to a HD projector when you save and restart).

My work-around was not saving in mirror, but in fisheye, and selecting mirror after opening. Annoying but ok.

so I was hopeful when 0.15.2 came out.
It opened fine in fisheye (just like 0.15.1)

But then I select "mirror distortion", here’s what I get (view varies by time of day but always in the top 3/4 of the screen:

and when I tried to search for the Sun, to see if that might center it properly, it crashed:

Note I had all other apps off and I had rebooted.

Hope this is helpful. I really like Stellarium but this is a step backward for Macs...
