Unfortunately I did not yet receive some feedback, but I think a found a solution for this specific problem. I've uploaded a MR that addresses the guide binning problem. I suppose though other EKOS modules suffer from the same flaw. I will report more, when Jasem (or one of the main developers) confirms the MR.

After a couple of restarts and some changes of guide parameters the binning issue is back. Even creating a totally new profile with new optical trains does not help to cure the guide binning issue. It seems that recent changes in the handling of UI parameters are provoking such issues (see also here ). Even if a new profile can help, it is not always a practical way. Especially if there are a lot of user settings you do not want to loose!

From the developer I didn't receive much attention (they have other problems). So I'm asking the community if there are users with similar problems.

A very strange occurrence is shown in the following video, where I create a profile from scratch and guide binning is consequently set back to 1x1:

Ok, seems there can be some inconsistencies with the user database. Unfortunately I did not find the reason until now.
As a workaround one can delete the database and create a new one while starting KStars. However deleting the database means to lose all user settings! So just be sure to save the old database for security.

(On Ubuntu the database "userdb.sqlite" is located in "~.local/share/kstars/".)

I want to confirm this! On KStars 3.7.1.beta (recent master) binning in guide module is not saved anymore and resets to default 1x1 for a new start.

FYI: invent.kde.org/education/kstars/-/commit...fb1456a989fbf2abe790 is merged into 3.7.1 development cycle. I don't know if there will be a backport to 3.7.0.

Yes your'e right, unforunately! I once reported the bug to the team and at a first glance it seemed to be corrected. but it is still present. I'll take a look at it once again.

Jasem already merged the PR, so it shoudn't last long until it is in the nightly build.
