Image Solver failing: StarAlignment.sensitivity(): numeric value out of range: -1

Hi folks -

Image solver is failing for me. I'm on PI 1.8.9-2 build 1588, have applied all updates, and have clicked the "reset to factory default settings" on the image plate solver several times, and have even restarted PI as well

Ultimately it's failing with StarAlignment.sensitivity(): numeric value out of range: -1

I've got the Gaia DR3/SP database loaded

Selected the object (M51) in the search:
1712760372502.jpeg


and I'm using all of the default values after selecting M51:

It's even failing on a single sub (see this FITS on dropbox).

Any idea what I might have messed up to break it? I don't see anything in there that's mentioning sensitivity. I've seen a couple of threads with a similar error but none seemed to show how they fixed it.

Thanks,
-jamie

Edit: Attached the relevant log entries from the console

Are you runnung StarAlignment from the process menu, or from a process icon? The range of permitted values for the Sensitivity parameter changed some time ago; if you are using an out-of-date saved process icon you could get this error.

Your FITS image solves just fine for me with the default settings. ImageSolver doesn't use the DR3/SP files, it uses the DR3 files. Are you sure you have those configured properly?
 
I've tried both, and have reset defaults.
Strangely, when I create a new process icon from the window, then look at the params it does show:

["solver_sensitivity", "-1"]

But I did find where I can set in the UI: which shows zero (even though the properties show -1):

Changing the sensitivity in that dialog higher, then back to zero, fixes it, so it appears that there's a disconnect between the properties and the dialog.

I'm guessing that, at some point, I executed the old process icon in the global context to get the dialog up, and that borked everything (but the disconnect between the property & the UI hid it)

Thanks!
