Summary0000002: Observatory cooordinates lost after opening the 2nd Window
DescriptionI have set my location at N 50.14 E 8.36
VMA save this setting and remembers this setting when I start the program
again.
But if I'm opening the 2nd Window and close this window, the setting of the
location is changed to N 50,14 E 8,36 (notice the "," instead of ".")
Closing the program and starting it again.
Now the location is set back to the default setting of N 46.00 and E 6.00
and I have to type in my location again. I think VMA has now used the
default setting because it can't read the location with ",".
Additional InformationAffect only a system with decimal separator character other than dot.
TagsNo tags attached.

The program alway use the "." for the decimal separator to avoid probleme when reading the data files. But the way I start the second window it use the default for your Windows installation, the ",".
You can solve the problem by changing the decimal separator in the Windows Control Panel, Regional Setting.

This bug can be raised by a number of other action, as changing something in the Windows Control Panel while VMA is running.

Need to set Application.UpdateFormatSettings:=false;
to not react to a "system configuration change" (WM_WININICHANGE) message.
Otherwise the default decimal separator character is used again.
