Jupiter GRS transit times—broken

SS calculates transit times of the Great Red Spot, but the longitude of the GRS drifts unpredictably. There is a setting for GRS longitude under Solar System, but the predicted time fíes not change if you set the longitude to a non-default value.

    I am using version 7.6.1 Yes it is still an issue. The GRS transit time does not change when the GRS longitude is changed in Solar System settings. Moreover, the “calculated” longitude is way off the current observed longitude, so predictions of transits are wrong.
