Push-to arrow not flipped together with view

Hi. I hadn't reported this bug previously since I thought that SS6 was frozen. However since you recently released a couple of bugfixes I thought I'd mention it, hoping that it gets fixed in a future rev. The bug is simply that the push-to arrow does not flip if you flip the sky view (horizontal, vertical or both) using the popup menu at top right. As a consequence the arrow points in the wrong direction and it is impossible to use the push to feature. Obviously the workaround is to unflip the view while pushing the scope, and flip it again afterwards but this is fiddly. If you are working on any further bugfixes perhaps you could add this one too. Thanks very much Piero

  Piero, 

  Thanks for your report.

  Please attach a screenshot of the sky view flipped but the push-to arrow not flipped.

  Thanks!

  OK, I connected to the skyhub but without actually connecting the encoders. This makes the skyhub think that it's pointing to the N horizon. I selected Castor as the target to show the arrow. Castor was actually below the horizon but the behaviour is identical everywhere in the sky. Attached are the four screenshots for no flipping, horizontal only, vertical only and both vertical and horizontal. No other change was made between the screenshots. As you can see, the sky is flipped but the arrow is not, and so only points to Castor if the sky is not flipped.

  Hope this helps!
