Hi,

I can confirm this issue!

I upgraded from 4.1.11804.0-64bit to 4.1.11939.0-64bit yesterday and the Focuser movement buttons got grayed out and disabled after a couple of movements. I'm using the Celestron Focus Motor connected by the the CPWI ASCOM driver.

The release notes stated "Fix issue with focus movement buttons becoming stuck disabled in 4.1.11922" but obviously the problem still prevails.

best regards
Bernd

Ok... mystery solved...

I *had* fixed the bug with the focus buttons, but the fix wasn't in build 4.1.11939. Last week I was swapping back and forward between working with a camera manufacturer on adding some new functionality and normal bug fixing. Build 11939 ended up having the camera manufacturer specific changes in it (not very interesting unless you work for that manufacturer and are testing a new camera feature), not the fix for the focus buttons. Damn!

I have uploaded a new version that really does fix the focus buttons - at least in my testing anyway :) I have also removed the download link for 4.1.11939 to avoid anyone else getting it.

If you are on 11922 or 19939, please update to 11947.

Apologies for the double mess-up.

thanks,

Robin
