Does anyone else see the following bug on KStars 1.20 on KDE 3.5?

With Settings > Configure KStars > Guides > Coordinate Grid switched on,

Try changing the coordinate system by View > Equatorial Coordinates and View > Horizontal Coordinates. It does not work. Do you see this too?

For those not into astronomy, you probably don't have KStars installed, but if you do, please test whether it works or not. The test is: if the grid has its pole at the star labeled Polaris in both coordinate system then the bug exist.

Expected behaviour:
Only when you select Equatorial Coordinates must the pole of the grid be near Polaris. When you select Horizontal Coordinates the pole of the grid must be at the zenith (a different point from Polaris except at the North Pole).

If I center on Polaris via "Find object..." and switch between the two modes, the pole jumps left and right by some ten pixels, but is always around Polaris. Tested with KDE 3.5.1 on Kubuntu Dapper. I hope that helpded?

I wanted the grid to change but it does not. I have filed a KDE bug report in this regard. Thank you for your response.
