Bug Description

It seems that Hydra constellation is not selectable inside a script:

ConstellationMgr.setFlagIsolateSelected(true);
core.selectObjectByName("Hydra",true);

(it will select all 88 constellations).

(Stellarium 0.11.1 for Windows, don't know if it happens with older version)

Maybe, I entered the wrong name, but which is the correct one?

So, what I have to do to select Hydra constellation instead of Pluto's Hydra?

Hi Ross,
You can use the constellation abbreviation for Hydra, Hya.

core.selectObjectByName("Hya",true);

another option is to select a star that is a member of the lines forming the figure of the constellation like HIP46390.

core.selectObjectByName("HIP46390",true);

The same bug also prevents the constellation being found when using the Find dialog.

But this is not bug in clear view because we have two different objects with same name.

Ross,

a better work-around would be to edit the ssystem.ini file and change the name of Hydra to "Hydra (moon)" or something like that. The other option is to wait for the next release of Stellarium.
