Distance display is wrong after quitting scan

Post by G0WZA » Thu Mar 21, 2024 8:59 pm

I have a Retevis RT3S running OpenGD77 build 20240412163717

The active zone contains only channels that have latitude and longitude values. "Show dist" is On in Options -> Display options. If I run a scan by pressing and holding the up arrow, then quit the scan with the red or green buttons, the distance displayed is the distance for the channel active before the scan started, not the channel active after quitting the scan. As soon as I turn the encoder to select another channel, the correct distance is displayed.

It looks like a stale distance value is being displayed when quitting the scan.

Sounds like a bug.

Calculating the distance during the scan would be too processor intensive, but the cached distance should be updated when the scanning stops on a channel, but it sounds like this is not happening
