    As of beta84 YAAC no longer shows my home station APRS symbol. Over time ALL of the symbols disappear. View -> Local Station is set to APRS symbol.

    What build of YAAC were you at previously? Also, is your system time/date correct? YAAC calculates the age of messages based on the system clock, which is assumed to be reasonably accurate and in the correct time zone. Are you seeing any packets in the View->Raw Packets view?

      Hello Andrew,
      I always update as soon as you have a new release, so the previous build I used was beta83.
      The computer/OS date and time appear to be correct.
      Yes, I do see packets in the View->Raw Packets window, including my own station's.
      Gary

    OK, dumb question. What part of the planet is the map showing? If you look in the lower left-hand corner of the map window, there will be lat/lon coordinates of where the mouse is over the map (updating as the mouse moves until it leaves the map). Is this anywhere near your station? I'm just wondering if you panned so far away from home that you're not viewing the area of any of your local stations.

    If this is not the problem, please privately e-mail me the YAAC.out file in your YAAC log directory; I'm guessing you've found some obscure bug in the station rendering code, and hopefully it will have thrown an exception I can interpret in the log.

    I managed to replicate the problem, and a new build is out to fix it.

      Not sure if this is related and not sure exactly what build it it began under, but for builds 84 and 85, at first I will see everything fine on the map and I get the appropriate pop-ups when I left click or right click on a station on the map and the Raw Packets views and Station/Object List views work fine. After a while though, these stop working. YAAC appears to still be running and I can see that I am IGating stations and beaconing by looking at aprs.fi. Once in a while, my map or YAAC window goes blank (my displays are working fine and any other open windows seem unfazed). This seems to happen regardless of if I am running other windows or not. While I can't put my finger directly on it, YAAC almost seems sluggish. It is almost like I would expect if I was running short on memory, but I am not. Running Win 10 and the latest Java 32 bit.

    Updated to 87 and everything is running much better. Thanks!
