Meridian Flip don't got updated HA value > no flip was applied
I am using latest KStars 4.5.2 from stellarmate repository with Raspi 4B 8GB with a self made AstroEQ (EQ3-2). I have configured a HA Limit in Kstars of 2 Hours and set the Meridan Flip to 1 HA. But the Flip was not applied because the HA Hour of Meridan Flip Moudle seems not to be updated correctly:
